June 6, 1911. — Committed to The Committee of trie Whole House on the state of 
the Union and ordered to be printed. 



Mr. Underwood, from me Committee on Ways and Means, submitted 

the following 

REPORT. 

[To accompany H. R. 11019.] 

The Committee on Ways and Means, to whom was referred the bill 
(H. R. 11019) to reduce the duties on wool and manufactures of 
wool, having had the same under consideration, report it back to the 
House without amendment and recommend that the bill do pass. 

EARLY HISTORY OF WOOL MANUFACTURES IN THE UNITED STATES. 

The wool manufacturing industry in its different stages is inti- 
mately interwoven with the history of the United States from 
colonial times to the present day, and to understand its position in 
the economic growth of the country, together with its present status, 
necessitates a short review of its development from the beginning. 

During the colonial period and in the years immediately following 
the Revolutionary War all woolen goods not made in households 
were imported from England. These household manufactures con- 
stituted practically the entire consumption of the country, and for- 
m-any years following the introduction of machinery they continued 
to be the larger portion of those in use. 

The first effort to manufacture woolen goods in commercial quan- 
tities is said to have been at Ipswich, Mass., in 1792, but no ma- 
chinery appears to have been used in this undertaking. It was in 
1794 that machinery was first applied to this manufacture, it having 
been introduced by English workmen, as was the case in cotton 
manufacture. This machinery for manufacturing woolen goods 
was exclusively for carding and for dressing the goods. Spinning 
and weaving were performed as before on the spinning wheel and 
the hand loom. The great obstacle in this early progress in the 
manufacture of woolen goods was the deficient supply and poor 
quality of wool. This difficulty was overcome by importations of 
merino sheep from Spain, which being begun in 1802, was supple- 
mented in 1809 and 1810. The manufacture received a great stimulus 
from the general industrial progress which began in 1808, and the 
value of Avoolen goods made in factories is said to have increased 
from $4,000,000 in 1810 to $19,000,000 in 1815. 



Z WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

As stated in United States Tariff History, by J. Alexander Lind- 
quist : 

The embargo and the War of 1812 stimulated the woolen as it did the cotton 
industry. Carding and spinning machinery was introduced at this time, but 
the weaving still continued to be done on the hand loom. Great progress, how- 
ever, was made, and the annual product of the mills amounted to $19,000,000 
about 1815. 

The duty on woolen goods imposed by the act of 1816, when compared with 
those now in force, was extremely low; but the industry, though it suffered in 
common with all others from the currency crisis of 1819, continued to flourish, 
and by 1828 was firmly established. 

In 1828, 13 woolen manufacturers testified before the Committee on Manu- 
factures of the House of Representatives as to the situation and work of the 
industry. Six of these had begun manufacturing before 1815, while the remain- 
ing 7 had started since. Spinning machinery was in use in all, but some used 
power and others hand looms. Several expressed the opinion that, so far as 
the mere cost of manufacturing was concerned, they could compete with the 
English manufacturers, but they were forced to pay more for their wool. Thus, 
by 1828, when the duties upon wool and woolens were for the first time made 
excessive, the industry had gained a strong foothold. But the high duties on 
wool in. the tariffs of 1824-1832 confined the industry to render such coarse 
products as could be made from domestic wool. 

TARIFF HISTORY. 

At the close of the Revolutionary War all the leading States 
passed acts imposing duties on imports, and from this time until 
1789, when the national government came into existence, new laws 
regulating commerce, navigation, and trade were enacted by all 
but one of the States. The duties were on imports from foreign 
countries and the States agreed that all goods, wares, and merchan- 
dise of the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States 
or any of them should be, with only a few insignificant exceptions, 
admitted into each State free of duty. All of the independent State 
tariffs were abolished by the Constitution as adopted by the conven- 
tion in 1787. The first national tariff law was passed by the First 
Congress, and went into effect on July 4, 1789; it was strictly a 
revenue tariff, though some of the leading men of that Congress 
argued for protective duties. It was only intended to be a temporary 
and partial measure. No duty was imposed on raw wool, and 7J 
per cent was agreed upon for clothing, ready-made, hats of beaver, 
fur, wool, or mixture of either, and other articles of clothing. This 
tariff of 1789 was superseded on January 1, 1791, by the act of 
August 10, 1790, which was likewise a revenue tariff, but was a 
complete tariff law covering all classes of merchandise, and con- 
tinued to be the basis of all the subsequent measures passed by the 
Congress down to April 27, 1816, the intervening tariffs being but 
amendments covering special articles. The tariff of 1790 left raw 
wool free of duty and taxed " clothing and stuffs " at 7-J per cent, 
which rate was increased by the amending act of June 7, 1794. 
All duties were increased 100 per cent by the act of July 1, 1812. 
The act of February 5, 1816, increased all duties 42 per cent above 
those imposed by the act of July 1, 1812. 

The above-mentioned acts were imposed on the whole for revenue 
and increased from time to time as the needs of the Treasury de- 
manded. The tariff of April 27, 1816, was principally for revenue, 
with incidental protection. The protective movement grew and 
secured the enactment of the tariff of May 22, 1824, involving protec-

tion for its own sake. Further protectionist agitation and the 
political strength and opportunity given to it by a peculiar combina- 
tion of circumstances brought in the tariff of May 19, 1828, known 
as " the tariff of abominations." This was superseded by the act of 
n July 14, 1832, with lower protection. The act of March 2, 1833, 
closely following, involved the abandonment of protection and the 
return to a revenue basis. Under this act the revenues of the Gov- 
ernment fell behind its expenditures and afforded the occasion for 
the protective tariff of August 30, 1842. This was followed by the 
famous Walker revenue tariff of July 30, 1846, which went into 
effect on December 1 of that year and continued until superseded, 
because of superabundant revenue, by the lower revenue tariff of 
March 3, 1857. 

The coming of the Civil War, with its abnormal requirements for 
revenue and the industrial disturbances, introduced a great change in 
the course of our tariff history. The act of March 2, 1861, was to 
provide for more revenue, and that of June 30, 1864, to meet even 
greater demands. After the war the abnormal fiscal . situation 
afforded the opportunity for the wool tariff of March 2, 1867, the 
result of a combination of interests by woolgrowers and wool manu- 
facturers. This act was the beginning of the high protective duties 
on wool and woolen goods, which have continued through the acts of 
1883, 1890, 1897, and our present act of 1909, except for the interrup- 
tion by the Wilson Act of 1894, which was in force only until 1897, 
and the life of which was too brief and too much disturbed by un- 
usual and abnormal conditions to enable its merits and usefulness to 
be generally established. 

The following table affords a concise review of the rates of duty on 
unmanufactured wools provided for in the tariff acts from 1789 to 
date. The rates of duty during this period on the various manu- 
factures of wool are to be found in Table 69, page 208, of Appendix B 
in this report.

DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES TO THE PEOPLE. 



The Democratic national platform of 1908 declared : 

We welcome the belated promise of tariff reform now offered by tlie Repub- 
lican Party in tardy recognition of the righteousness of the Democratic posi- 
tion on this question, but the people can not safely entrust the execution of 
this important work to a party which is so deeply obligated to the highly pro- 
tected interests as is the Republican Party. We call attention to the significant 
fact that the promised relief was postponed until after the coming election — 
an election to succeed in which the Republican Party must have the same 
support from the beneficiaries of the high protective tariff as it has always 
heretofore received from them; and to the further fact that during years of 
uninterrupted' power no action whatever has been taken by the Republican 
Congress to correct the admittedly existing tariff iniquities. 

We favor immediate revision of the tariff by the reduction of import duties. 
Articles entering into competition with trust-controlled products should be 
placed upon the free list, and material reductions should be made in the tariff 
upon the necessities of life, especially upon articles competing with such Ameri- 
can manufactures as are sold abroad more cheaply than at home; and gradual 
reductions should be made in such other schedules as may be necessary to 
restore the tariff to a revenue basis. 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 5 

The truth of these Democratic criticisms of the Republican prom- 
ises has now become entirely clear to the people, who unquestionably 
expected a substantial revision downward after the election of 1908, 
in accordance with what was understood to be the meaning of the 
Republican platform of that year. The Republican Party has failed 
to make the revision required, and the present Democratic House of 
Representatives has been entrusted by the people with the plain duty 
of tariff revision according to the Democratic platform of 1908 ; 
that is, immediate revision, with gradual reduction of duties to a 
revenue basis, and with especial consideration given to the necessities 
of life. The pledges of the platform and the practical requirements 
of the present situation call for revision a step at a time, subject by 
subject, or schedule by schedule. In this way the varied and exten- 
sive business interests necessarily affected by the tariff are not dis- 
turbed by changes too sweeping or too sudden, and have the proper 
opportunities for gradual adjustment to new rates. On the other 
hand, the Members of Congress have adequate opportunities in a 
gradual revision by subject or schedule for full consideration and 
discussion of the matters involved. A general tariff revision is such a 
large and comprehensive task, as shown by experience, that it is 
practically impossible for the Members of Congress to fully inform 
themselves in the short time at their disposal and deal properly with 
the great array of items involved in the 14 schedules. It is apparent, 
also, that the combinations of interests, habitually organized by 
predatory private interests at the expense of the public to influence 
legislation, are weakened and discouraged through revision by subject 
or schedule. 

SCHEDULE K NOT REVISED BY ACT OF 19 09. 

This schedule of the tariff act, covering wool and manufactures of 
wool, deals throughout with articles which are necessities of life for 
the masses of our people. The existing tariff rates on these articles 
were established in the act of 1897, and were made extremely high, 
in many cases to the point of practically prohibiting imports. These 
very high rates have been kept as they were since 1897, without any 
modification, under the complete power exercised by the Republican 
Party from 1897 to the incoming of the present House of Representa- 
tives. As is well known, the Republican tariff legislation of 1909 
was not an honest revision in the public interest. As to Schedule K, 
with the great burdens it carries to every man, woman, and child in 
the United States, the act of 1909 was really not a revision at all. 
Notwithstanding the complaints of the general public and a large 
number of manufacturers, Schedule K, as enacted in the tariff act of 
1909, made only five changes from the act of 1897. These few 
changes were all very trifling and unimportant, and are in detail 
as follows : 

The act of 1909 provided an additional paragraph, No. 375, read- 
ing: 

On combed wool or tops, made wholly or in part of wool or earners hair, 
valued at not more than 20 cents per pound, the duty per pound shall he two 
and one-fourth times the duty imposed by this schedule on 1 pound of un- 
washed wool of the first class; valued at more than 20 cents per pound, the duty 
per pound shall be three and one-third times the duty imposed by this schedule 
on 1 pound of unwashed wool of the first class; and in addition thereto, upon 
all the foregoing, 30 per cent ad valorem. 



6 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

The effect of this provision was to make combed wool or tops ex- 
plicitly subject to the duties thus established and to take this article 
out from the provisions of paragraph No. 376 in the act of 1909, 
which provides that — 

wool and hair which have been advanced in any manner or by any process of 
manufacture beyond the washed or scoured condition, not specially provided 
for in this section, shall be subject to the same duties as are imposed upon 
manufactures of wool not specially provided for in this section. 

This change was forced as a result of public exposure of a job or 
trick by which an exorbitant rate of duty on wool tops was con- 
cealed in the paragraph covering " wool and hair advanced in any 
manner," and so forth. Tops are the straightened fibers of wool, 
resulting from the combing process. The cunning, if not corrupt, 
manipulation of an influential private interest, whereby tops were 
concealed in paragraphs 364 and 366 of the act of 1897, had resulted 
in protecting this article by a rate of duty substantially higher than 
that on the more advanced product, yarns, which are spun from the 
tops. The exposure of this trick made it impossible to continue the 
disguised or concealed protection on tops. However, the duty im- 
posed upon them openly in the act of 1909 is apparently prohibitive, 
and, on the imports of the year ending June 30, 1910, was equivalent 
to 111.73 per cent ad valorem, while in the same year the duties on 
yarns were equivalent to an average of 82.38 per cent ad valorem. 

The act of 1909, in paragraph 377, provided that on yarns — 

valued at not more than thirty cents per pound the duty per pound shall be 
two and one-half times the duty imposed by this section on one pound of un- 
washed wool of the first class, and in addition thereto, thirty-five per centum 
ad valorem. 

This is exactly the same specific duty as was imposed by the act of 
1897 on yarns of the value in question, and a mere change in the ad- 
ditional ad valorem duty from 40 to 35 per cent. This insignificant 
change proved to be really no reduction of rate. For the year ending 
June 30, 1909, under the act of 1897, the duties collected on imports of 
yarns valued at not more than 30 cents per pound were equivalent to 
143.97 per cent ad valorem. For the fiscal year 1910, under the act of 
1909, the duties collected on imports of yarns of the same range of 
value were equivalent to 159.75 per cent ad valorem. The imports in 
both of these years were insignificant, only 29-| pounds in 1909, valued 
at $7.80, and 127 pounds in 1910, valued at $28, proving that the rates 
of duty on these cheaper yarns, as established in 1897, were prohibitive 
and deliberately kept so in the act of 1909. On yarns valued at more 
than 30 cents per pound the rate of duty was left unchanged. It was 
equivalent to 86.77 per cent ad valorem on the actual imports of the 
fiscal year 1909 and 82.38 per cent on the imports of the fiscal year 
1910. 

The act of 1909, in paragraph 380, covering "women's and chil- 
dren's dress goods, coat linings, Italian cloths, bunting, and goods 
of similar description and character, of which the warp consists 
wholly of cotton or other vegetable material, with the remainder of 
the fabric composed wholly or in part of wool," made no change 
whatever in the specific part of the compound duties, but only as to 
the articles included, " when weighing over 4 ounces per square yard," 
provided that the ad valorem duty (imposed in addition to the 
specific duty) should be 50 per cent less 5 per cent, instead of 50 per 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 7 

cent as established in the act of 1897. This insignificant change 
effected no real reduction of duty. The imports during the year 
ended June 30, 1910, were only $179,394 in value of the articles 
affected, out of a total of $9,218,374 worth of women's and children's 
dress goods, etc., or less than 2 per cent of the total. In this 2 per 
cent of the total imports of the cheaper grades of women's and chil- 
dren's dress goods, the duties collected from August 6, 1909, to June 
30, 1910, under the act of 1909, on the imports of those valued at 
above 40 and not above 70 cents per pound, were equivalent to 114.14 
per cent ad valorem, as compared with 118.45 per cent ad valorem on 
the imports of the same grades in the year ended June 30, 
1909. The duties collected on the higher grades valued at over 
70 cents per pound, during the period mentioned under the act 
of 1909, were equivalent to 98.01 per cent ad valorem, as com- 
pared with 101.87 per cent on like imports in the fiscal year 1909 
under the rates of the act of 1897. During the fiscal year 1910 the 
imports of these articles in both the cheaper and higher grades were 
less than one-tenth of the total of like imports in the fiscal year 1909, 
indicating that the rates as " revised " in 1909 were, in effect, made 
more prohibitive than they were under the act of 1897. 

In paragraph 383 of the act of 1909, ribbons and ornaments are 
explicitly included among webbings, gorings, suspenders, braces, 
braids, trimmings, and a lengthy list of similar articles made of wool 
or of which wool is a component material. In the act of 1897 ribbons 
and ornaments were not specified in Schedule K and were dutiable 
under paragraph 366 of that act as " manufactures made wholly or 
in part of wool not specially provided for " at the rate of 33 cents 
per pound and 50 per cent ad valorem. The effect of changing the 
classification of these articles in the act of 1909 was to make them 
dutiable under paragraph 383 at the rate of 50 cents per pound and 60 
per cent, and this was a substantial revision upward. The imports 
of these ribbons and ornaments are not separately reported. 

In paragraph 393 of the act of 1909, " mats, mattings, and rugs of 
cotton " are explicitly included with " carpets and carpeting of wool, 
flax, or cotton, or composed in part of any of them, not specially pro- 
vided for." The mats, matting, and rugs of cotton were not specified 
in the act of 1897 and were dutiable under paragraph 322, Schedule I, 
of that act as " manufactures of cotton not specially provided for," at 
the rate of 45 per cent ad valorem. The effect of the change in 
classification of these 'mats, matting, and rugs in the act of 1909 was 
to make them dutiable at the higher rate of 50 per cent ad valorem. 

These five items are the only changes effected in Schedule K by 
the act of 1909. It is plain that this act accomplished nothing ap- 
proaching a revision of this schedule. The entire act of 1909 was an 
outrageous breach of faith with the people, and as to Schedule K was 
a mere empty mockery of alleged revision. The people have been 
prompt and keen to resent this contemptuous denial of their just 
expectations and heartless indifference to their serious burdens on 
the part of the Republican Party. The act of 1909 was long delayed, 
and known to be not merely the product of a single session of Con- 
gress, but really the outcome of deliberation within the Republican 
Party extending over a number of years and resulting only after 
severe and just criticism of the act of 1897 by manufacturers and 
consumers alike. The act of 1909 was not passed in haste or without

ample preparation. As has been so frequently stated, this law was 
enacted by the Republicans in complete power after a notable victory 
in a national election, and should therefore be considered the best 
that that party can do or is willing to do toward tariff revision. 

SCHEDULE K ADMITTEDLY INDEFENSIBLE. 

The utter failure of this act to effect a revision in the interest of 
the people is universally recognized and has been repeatedly admitted 
by high Republican authorities. In no respect is this failure more 
noticeable than in that affecting wool and its manufactures, and, 
since the passage of the act of 1909, public sentiment has been per- 
sistently calling for an honest revision of this schedule. The Presi- 
dent himself has been obliged to admit that Schedule K, of the act of 
1909, is intolerable. In an address delivered at Beverly, Mass., he is 
reported to have said : 

The woolen schedule is indefensible, and I propose to say so. 

And, again, in a public address in New York, on February 12, 1910, 
the President said, as officially reported : 

The one substantial defect in compliance with the promise of the platform 
was the failure to reduce woolens. 

In his well-known address at Winona, Minn., on September IT, 
1909, the President said, as officially reported : 

With respect to the wool schedule, I agree that it is too high and that it 
ought to have been reduced, and that it probably represents considerably more 
than the difference between the cost of production abroad and the cost of pro- 
duction here. The difficulty about the woolen schedule is that there were two 
contending factions early in the history of the Republican tariff, to wit, wool 
growers and the woolen manufacturers, and that finally, many years ago, they 
settled on a basis by which wool in the grease should have 11 cents a pound, and 
by which allowance should be made for the shrinkage of the washed wool in the 
differential upon woolen manufactures. The percentage of duties was very 
heavy — quite beyond the difference in the cost of production, which was not then 
regarded as a necessary or proper limitation upon protective duties. 

Again, in the same address, the President was reported to have 
said: 

It (the failure to revise Schedule K) is the one important defect in the present 
Payne tariff bill, and in the performance of the promise of the platform to 
reduce rates to a difference in the cost of production, with reasonable profit to 
the manufacturer. 

And, again, in the same address : 

When it came to the question of reducing the duty at this hearing in this 
tariff bill on wool, Mr. Payne, in the House, and Mr. Aldrich, in the Senate, 
although both favored reduction in the schedule, found that in the Republican 
Party the interests of the woolgrowers in the far West and the interests of the 
woolen (worsted) manufacturers in the East and in other States, reflected 
through their Representatives in Congress, was sufficiently strong to defeat any 
attempt to change the woolen tariff, and that had it been attempted it would 
have beaten the bill reported from either committee. 

These are admissions by the highest Eepublican authority that 
Schedule K of the the act of 1909 was not a revision at all, that 
the rates in this schedule are too high, going beyond any difference 
in the cost of production including protection of profits to the manu- 
facturer, and that these rates should have been reduced, but that 
the Eepublican Party broke its promise to the people and failed 
in its duty, because it could not resist the demands of selfish private 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 9 

interests. These admissions are belated, as were the promises of 
tariff reform in the Republican platform of 1908. Had the Presi- 
dent made these public admissions earlier, while the tariff law of 1909 
was under consideration by the Congress, his declarations would have 
been a real service to the people and would have enabled them to 
protest against the betrayal of the public welfare to private greed. 
The President's silence at that time and his approval of the act of 
1909, make it impossible for him to evade his full share of responsi- 
bility for the failure of revision which he now admits. His public 
statements, however, are an authoritative Republican admission that 
Schedule K in all the Republican tariff acts was never framed or 
intended to be for the public welfare, but simply to satisfy the de- 
mands of the wool-growing and wool-manufacturing interests in the 
Republican Party. 

For the reasons stated, the demand of the people for an immediate 
revision of Schedule K is abundantly justified. The present House 
of Representatives has given prompt attention to this demand. It 
would be trifling with the people to give further consideration to 
Republican counsels of more delay in this matter, whether with regard 
to statistical data concerning cost of production, promised at a future 
date, or for an}^ other reasons. Such data, evidently being prepared 
for the purpose of defending high tariff rates, as far as possible, is 
likely to be inconclusive and of questionable value. It is very difficult 
to determine costs of production by even the most scientific and dis- 
interested investigation, and even if determined, they are constantly 
fluctuating. As the President himself well said to the chairman of 
the Republican congressional committee in his letter of August 20, 
1910: 

The difficulty in fixing the proper tariff rates in accord with the principle 
stated in the Republican platform is in securing reliable evidence as to the 
difference between the cost of production at home and the cost of production 
abroad. The bias of the manufacturer seeking protection and of the importer 
opposing it weakens the weight of their testimony. Moreover, when we under- 
stand that the cost of production differs in one country abroad from that in 
another, and that it changes from year to year and from month to month, we 
must realize that the precise difference in cost of production sought for is not 
capable of definite ascertainment, and that all that even the most scientific 
person can do in his investigation is, after consideration of many facts which 
he learns, to exercise his best judgment in reaching a conclusion. 

STATISTICAL DATA OX COST OF PRODUCTION. 

When statistical data as to cost of production have been obtained 
by the diligent efforts of well-trained and disinterested governmental 
agents, the Republican Party has treated them with neglect and 
contempt, and has gone on framing tariff acts to please private in- 
terests at the public expense, without any consideration whatever of 
ascertained facts as to the differences in cost of production. The 
Republican Party declares that the differences in the cost of pro- 
duction in the United States and other countries are due to the higher 
labor cost in the United States, and that high protective tariff duties 
must be levied to equalize these differences and provide a reasonable 
profit for our manufacturers. In May, 1892, President Harrison 
submitted to Congress a comprehensive report by the Commis- 
sioner of Labor, Carroll D. Wright, on the cost of producing textiles 
and glass in the United States and in Europe. This report showed 



10 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

that for 70 establishments, of which 38 were located in the northern 
portion of the United States and the remainder in the southern, the 
total cost of producing cotton fabrics was $23,494,056, involving labor 
costs to the amount of $6,447,653, or 27.44 per cent of the total cost 
of production; for 5 establishments shown in this report, in Great 
Britain, the labor costs were 20.53 per cent of the total cost of 
production. 

The cost of producing woolen fabrics in 30 establishments in the 
United States for the periods reported by the Commissioner of Labor 
amounted to $4,705,112, the labor cost being $982,981, or 20.89 per 
cent of the total cost of production. The labor cost in producing 
these fabrics in Great Britain, as brought out in the testimony before 
the British tariff commission and published in its report in 1905, 
ranges from 14 to 24 per cent of the total cost, according to the 
character of fabrics. 

If foreign cotton goods had no labor cost whatever, 27 per cent 
would have been the maximum average rate required to equalize the 
labor cost of production at home and abroad. If the labor cost 
abroad were one-half of the labor cost at home — and the most careful 
estimates in manufacturing concerns indicate that the home-labor cost 
can not possibly be more than twice the similar cost abroad — then the 
rate of duty required to prevent the foreign manufacturer from secur- 
ing an advantage from cheaper labor would have been as to cotton 
manufactures, 27 per cent, the American cost, less 13^ per cent, 
the European cost, or 13J per cent. Notwithstanding this statis- 
tical data from a government report of the highest standing for 
accuracy and disinterestedness, the Republican Party, in passing the 
tariff acts of 1897 and 1909, paid no attention whatever to differences 
in cost of production and, instead of establishing equalizing duties of 
any sort, protected cotton manufactures by duties ranging from 33 
to 51 per cent on cotton cloth and from 57 to 63 per cent on handker- 
chiefs, and so forth, and protected woolen and worsted cloth by duties 
averaging over 100 per cent, these figures being the official averages 
on the imports of the year ended June 30, 1899. 

WORK OF THE TARIFF BOARD. 

The President, recognizing this situation, has now admitted pub- 
licly that the tariff rates in Schedule K of the act of 1897, which 
rates his party refused to reduce in 1909, were considerably higher 
than any differences in cost of production with a reasonable profit for 
manufacturers. It is clear, therefore, that the Republican Party has 
not intended to reduce tariff duties according to differences between 
home and foreign costs of production, and would not if it had the 
power to do so, when such differences, if ascertained, may be avail- 
able. Moreover, it is apparent that the statistical data on this sub- 
ject, now being collected by the Tariff Board, recently organized by 
the President, is not to be communicated frankly, unreservedly, and 
promptly, as it may be useful, to the Congress or to the present House 
of Representatives, alone authorized by the Constitution and dele- 
gated and expected by the people to initiate and enact legislation 
revising present import duties. 

The Committee on Ways and Means, in their study of the condi- 
tions of woolgrowing and wool manufacturing, and in their considera- 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 11 

tion of the bill H. R. 11019, requested the Tariff Board to furnish the 
committee the statistical data thus far collected by the board relating 
to the cost of raising sheep and producing wool in any part of the 
United States or elsewhere, or any summaries or conclusions from 
such data, or any information whatever relating to the cost of produc- 
tion of wool or wool manufactures. The chairman of the Tariff Board 
replied that the investigations of the board concerning wool and 
woolen goods had not been completed and that the statistical data 
thus far collected by the board on that subject would not, in their 
opinion, be useful for purposes of legislation, and they therefore would 
not communicate them to the committee. It had been publicly stated 
by the chairman of the Tariff Board that their investigations into the 
cost of woolgrowing in Ohio and certain other sections of the United 
States had been practically completed, and that similar investiga- 
tions were in progress in the far Western States and in certain foreign 
countries. It is understood that the plans of the Tariff Board do not 
contemplate detailed investigations of the cost of woolgrowing and 
wool manufacturing throughout the United States and in all foreign 
countries, but, as in other similar work, investigations in selected 
sections of this country and in selected localities of certain foreign 
countries, taken as typical and representative of varying conditions in 
production. It can not be questioned but that the cost of woolgrowing 
in Ohio, one of our oldest, most thoroughly cultivated, and densely 
populated woolgrowing sections, must be approximately the maxi- 
mum cost of woolgrowing in the United States, and hence that sta- 
tistical data concerning such cost in Ohio ought to be among the most 
significant and valuable that could be supplied by the Tariff Board, 
whether for purposes of legislation or otherwise. 

The position of the Tariff Board appears to be that they, in con- 
ference with and under the sole control of the President, shall be the 
sole judges as to what part of the data they collect may be likely to 
be of service for purposes of legislation; and this situation must be 
considered with reference to the viewpoint of the President concern- 
ing tariff legislation. It is therefore not impossible that there may 
be some such delay in the communication to the Congress of statistical 
data collected by the Tariff Board concerning wool and woolen goods 
as there has been in communicating to Congress or making public 
the data collected by the Bureau of Corporations concerning investi- 
gations of the steel and other industries. 

In view of the conditions stated, and for other considerations, the 
Committee on Ways and Means is opposed to any further delay in 
the long-looked-for revision of the wool and woolen schedule, believ- 
ing that the public patience has been already too much abused in this 
matter by the Republican Party, and that immediate revision of 
this admittedly indefensible schedule at the earliest possible mo- 
ment is the plain mandate and expectation of the people and the duty 
of the Democratic Party. 

AD VALOREM DUTIES. 

The bill herewith reported abolishes all specific and compound 
duties on wool and woolen goods, and substitutes therefor fair and 
moderate ad valorem duties on all the articles included in Schedule 
K. The rates of these duties have been determined with regard to the 



12 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

revenue necessities of the present time, and the gradations of the 
rates from the raw and partly manufactured products to the more 
highly finished articles have been fairly and justly apportioned ac- 
cording to the general averages of labor and other costs involved in 
the articles. The highest rates provided for in the bill are on the 
most highly finished articles, involving the most expensive goods and 
those in which luxury "and ornament most generally prevail. With 
only one exception, the same rate of duty is applied to all articles of 
one kind or sort, without change of rates among the articles of one 
kind according to grades by value or otherwise. The single exception 
to this rule is for the purpose of securing greater revenue from a 
higher rate on the costlier flannels used principally by the wealthy, 
while giving a lower rate to the cheaper flannels used by the poorer 
people, the importations of which cheaper flannels have in recent 
years been practically prohibited by the present extremely high rates. 

The change from specific to ad valorem duties will in itself cor- 
rect the special and peculiarly offensive discriminations in the pres- 
ent Schedule K against certain groups of wool manufacturers and 
woolgrowers for the especial advantage and profit of certain other 
and more favored groups. In a tariff law intended to be fair and 
equitable to all interests and under all circumstances, and covering a 
wide and varied range of articles, where equalization of internal- 
revenue taxes on competing articles is not involved, every considera- 
tion calls for the elimination of all specific duties and the use 
throughout of duties according to the value of the articles taxed. 
In no other way can the duties which are determined to be neces- 
sary and just be steadily and continuously collected through a num- 
ber of years of necessarily varying values and changing trade 
conditions, without involving unfair discriminations and unequal 
burdens. 

The compelling force of this truth is most plainly evident when 
the tariff law has for its particular purpose the collection of needed 
revenue with the least possible burdens on the people, and by no 
means more than a fair and proportionate part of such burdens on 
the great masses of people of small means. The great evil of specific 
duties is that they always and inevitably bear more heavily upon the 
poor than upon the rich. When goods are taxed according to kind, 
pound, weight, measure, or the like, without regard to value, the 
coarser and cheaper grades necessarily must pay as much as the 
finer and more expensive grades, and the taxes fall with most crush- 
ing force on those least able to pay. 

All experience with specific duties shows the injustice and injury 
incident to this method. The earliest United States tariffs were 
crowded with specific duties. These gradually became discredited, 
and the tariff of 1846, admittedly the wisest and most successful 
ever framed in this country, was made up entirely of ad valorem 
duties. Specific duties have been persistently employed in the high 
protective tariffs of recent years, principally because designing and 
powerful private interests have found such duties particularly useful 
for concealing and disguising the enormous extent of the protection 
usually involved, and various tricks and manipulations for the fur- 
ther private profit of favored rings and groups. The extent of the 
burden of specific duties can not be determined without accurate 
knowledge of the values of the articles 'involved and indirectly 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 13 

affected. Specific duties in very many cases are or become actu- 
ally prohibitive without the fact becoming known or suspected by 
the consumers of competing domestic goods or the general pub- 
lic. The same is true of compound duties, which are specific duties 
in combination with ad valorem rates on the same articles, and 
compound duties are essentially as unfair and unjust as are spe- 
cific duties. The present Schedule K abounds in compound and 
complicated duties which conceal enormous protection, invariably 
bearing more heavily on the cheaper goods. For example, on woolen 
and worsted cloths valued at not more than 40 cents per pound the 
present rate of duty is " three times the duty imposed by this sec- 
tion on 1 pound of unwashed wool of the first class " (namely, 3 
times 11 cents, or 33 cents) and, in addition, 50 per cent ad valorem. 
On the same cloths valued at more than 70 cents per pound (the 
most expensive class in the present tariff arrangement of duties), 
the rate of duty is u four times the duty imposed by this section on 

I pound of unwashed wool of the first class" (namely, four times 

II cents, or. 44 cents) and in addition, 55 per cent act valorem. From 
a surface view it would seem that the more expensive goods are 
taxed at a higher rate than the cheaper goods, but it is impossible 
to tell the proportion of the tax to the actual value of the goods. 
However, by examining the record of imports for the fiscal year 
1910, it is noted that the tax on the more expensive goods was equiva- 
lent to 96 per cent ad valorem, averaged for the year, while on the 
cheaper goods the tax was equivalent to 144 per cent ad valorem, 
similarly averaged. It is also noted that of the cheaper goods, the 
average value of which was 35 cents per pound, imports came in to 
the amount of only 6,016 pounds, yielding $2,111 in duties, while of 
the more expensive goods, the average value of which was $1.07 per 
pound, imports came in to the amount of 5,433,182 pounds, yielding 
$5,827,777 in duties. Evidently the enormous protection on the 
cheaper goods, which is practically the prohibition of imports, can 
pass unnoticed, while the open application of such a rate as 144 per 
cent ad valorem would expose the purpose and the situation, and 
would not be tolerated. In the case of these cheaper cloths the prac- 
tical prohibition of imports is a serious hardship to the masses of 
our people of moderate means, who urgently need cheap, but good, 
woolen clothing. 

Of course, rates of duty which are so extremely high as to almost 
or practically prohibit imports, cut off revenue from the Treasury, 
and serve only to farm out the public to the extortion of private 
interests. And all tariff duties, to the extent to which they go higher 
than the points at which competitive imports are not seriously re- 
strained, necessarily approach closer and closer to the points at 
which imports are prohibited, and the duties become more damaging 
and destructive to the welfare of the Treasury and that of the 
people as the rates approach the prohibitive points. Specific and 
compound duties, especially those on manufactured goods, have, in 
many cases and circumstances, an automatic tendency to increase 
toward the prohibitive points, entirely apart from the matter of 
design and manipulation. When producing or manufacturing 
processes improve and the cost of production grows less, the specific 
duty, remaining the same, becomes in effect more protective and more 
burdensome. All the benefits of declining prices, from whatever 



14 WOOL AND MANUFACTUKES OF WOOL. 

cause, are to a great extent nullified within the range of the effect of 
specific or compound duties, which, unlike ad valorem rates, can not 
adjust themselves to changing conditions. 

While the justice, fairness, and economic advantages of the ad 
valorem method are universally admitted, it is often maintained that 
it involves greater administrative difficulties than the use of specific 
duties and greater risk of loss to the Treasury through fraud. Even 
if this were true, the greater convenience of the Treasury could not 
justify the maintenance of unfair burdens on the people and undemo- 
cratic and demoralizing discriminations. But all experience has 
shown that an efficient customs service can collect proper ad valorem 
duties without more difficulty and fraud than are encountered under 
specific duties, and probably with less. In all recent tariff laws, not- 
withstanding the many specific duties, the ad valorem duties largely 
predominate. The specific duties are an incident and not a charac- 
teristic of our tariff laws. It would be impossible to have specific 
duties in most cases, as the injustice would be overwhelming. In 
Schedule K of the present law there are no purely specific duties ex- 
cept those on unmanufactured wools and on wastes. In the trouble- 
some compound duties which predominate on manufactures of wool 
in the schedule as now in force, the specific parts of the duties are to 
compensate for the specific duties on the raw wools such as enter into 
the manufactures. By the force of circumstances, where these partly 
specific duties are used, each kind of commodity must be arbitrarily 
divided into various grades or classes, according to value or size, or 
both. For example, in the schedule now in force, blankets, if not 
more than 3 yards in length, are taxed at one set of rates, and if 
more than 3 yards in length are taxed at another set of rates; and 
each of these divisions according to size is subdivided into three 
divisions according to value, (1) those valued at not more than 40 
cents per pound ; (2) those valued at more than 40 and not more than 
50 cents per pound (or at more than 40 and not more than 70 cents 
in the case of blankets more than 3 yards in length) ; and (3) 
those valued at more than 50 cents per pound, if not more than 3 
yards in length, and at more than TO cents per pound if more than 3 
yards in length. Compound and complex duties of this sort are 
clumsy and cumbersome compromises between the ad valorem and 
specific methods, cover a multitude of private jobs and special favors, 
and offer extraordinary temptation to undervaluations. 

Specific duties do not by any means prevent frauds on the Treas- 
ury, as is shown in the enormous frauds recently perpetrated by the 
Sugar Trust through the juggling of weights. The only adminis- 
trative difficulty with ad valorem duties is in the risk of undervalua- 
tions. Importers do not incur the danger involved in undervaluations 
unless there is prospect of great gains from comparatively slight 
changes. When a duty is assessed on a commodity of a certain value 
much larger in proportion than when the value is a few cents less 
per pound, or yard, the temptation is in many cases irresistible to 
have the lower value accepted for the sake of enjoying the much 
lower tax burden. For example, in Schedule K of the present act, 
yarns, valued at not more than 30 cents per pound, are taxed at 27-J 
cents per pound and, in addition, 35 per cent ad valorem, so that the 
total duty amounts to 38 cents per pound, or 126.6 per cent of the 
value. If the value of the yarn is declared at 31 cents per pound, the 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 15 

tax is 38.5 cents per pound and in addition, 40 per cent ad valorem, 
so that the total duty amounts to 50.6 cents per pound, or 163 per 
cent of the value. Hence a change in the valuation of 1 cent per 
pound reduces the burden of the duty by 37 per cent. The substitu- 
tion, in the bill herewith reported, of straight ad valorem duties on 
articles of one kind or sort, instead of the present rates increasing as 
arbitrary dividing lines of value are crossed, will remove the extraor- 
dinary temptations to undervaluations which now prevail, and make 
the task of the customs service easier, as far as the scope of this bill 
goes. Moreover, the substantial reductions provided for in this bill, 
from all the existing extremely high rates, will much further diminish 
the incentive to undervaluations, as reductions of duty always do. 
And the steadily increasing knowledge of trade conditions and values 
by our customs and other public officials, and their experience in pass- 
ing on values, all constantly tend to make undervaluations more diffi- 
cult and rare. At the present time, in the administration of the 
customs service, values are more closely studied than ever before, 
and by means of a number of tried and effective tests practically all 
invoice values are scrutinized and proved. 

UNMANUFACTURED WOOLS. 

Almost continuously from the time of their enactment in 1897 to 
the present da}', the duties on raw wools in Schedule K of the existing 
tariff have been denounced and attacked by manufacturers and con- 
sumers alike as far too burdensome, unfairly arranged, and destruc- 
tive to a number of important manufacturing interests; while they 
provide unreasonable profits and monopolistic opportunities for other 
manufacturers who were made and intended to be made the benefici- 
aries of very special favor. Through public protests from a number 
of woolgrowers, the Carded Woolen Manufacturers' Association, 
tailors, various associations of clothing manufacturers, and a large 
part of the general public, the iniquities of these duties have become 
fairly well understood. The duties are defended only by the combina- 
tion of woolgrowers and wool manufacturers for whose greater profit 
they were enacted, and, as has been stated above, even the President, 
who signed and praised the act of 1909, now repudiates the wool 
duties and the entire wool schedule. 

The act of 1909 made no change whatever in the act of 1897 as 
to classifications, duties, and provisions covering raw or unmanu- 
factured wools. The unmanufactured wools are now provided for in 
paragraphs 360 to 371, both inclusive, of the act of 1909 (paragraphs 
348 to 360, both inclusive, of the act of 1897). In this prevailing 
scheme of duties the raw wools are divided for tariff purposes into 
three classes. 

Class 1, generally known as carding or clothing wools, are de- 
scribed as — 

merino, mestiza, metz, or metis wools, or other wools of merino blood, immediate 
or remote, Down clothing wools, and wools of like character with any of the 
preceding, including Bagdad wool, China lamb's wool, Castel Branco, Adriano- 
ple skin- wool or butcher's wool, and such as have been heretofore usually 
imported into the United States from Buenos Aires, New Zealand, Australia, 
Cape of Good Hope, Russia, Great Britain, Canada, Egypt, Morocco, and else- 
where, and all wools not hereinafter included in classes two and three. 



16 WOOL AND MANUFACTUKES OF WOOL. 

These are fine wools, short in fiber, and are used for carding and 
spinning into woolen yarn. They consist principally of wools from 
sheep of merino blood, and are imported mainly from Australia and 
Argentina. These wools of class 1 are now dutiable at 11 cents per 
pound when unwashed, which means " shorn from the sheep without 
any cleansing " ; that is, in their natural condition and when " not on 
the skin." If washed, these wools are taxed "twice the amount of 
the duty to which they would be subjected if imported unwashed,-' 
which means 22 cents per pound when not on the skin. When the 
wool is on the skin the duty is 1 cent less per pound than it would be 
if the same wool were not on the skin. If these wools of class 1 are 
scoured the duty is " three times the duty to which they would be 
subjected if imported unwashed," which means 33 cents per pound. 
Washed wools are considered only " such as have been washed with 
water only on the sheep's back, or on the skin." If washed in any 
other manner they are considered and taxed as scoured wool. 

Class 2, generally known as combing wools, are described as — 

Leicester, Cotswold. Lincolnshire, Down combing wools, Canada long wools, or 
other like combing wools of English blood, and usually known by the terms 
herein used, and also hair of the camel, Angora goat, alpaca, and other like 
animals. 

These are long-fibered combing wools; that is, wools which are 
used for combing and spinning into worsted yarns. They come prin- 
cipally from the English breeds of long-haired sheep, such as the 
Cotswold, Lincolnshire, Romney Marsh, and Leicesters. The quan- 
tity of class 2 wools imported is much smaller than the quantities 
of classes 1 and 3, and they come principally from the United King- 
dom. These wools of class 2 are now dutiable at 12 cents per pound, 
either washed or unwashed, when not on the skin, or at 11 cents per 
pound when on the skin. If scoured, class 2 wools are taxed three 
times the duty on unwashed wool, or 36 cents per pound. While 
class 1 wools when washed are taxed twice the amount of the duty 
on the unwashed — that is, 22 cents per pound in the fleece, or not on 
the skin — class 2 wools in the same condition are taxed no more 
than when unwashed — that is, 12 cents per pound not on the skin or 11 
cents if on the skin. The great bulk of the importations of raw 
wools of all classes are not on the skin. The very special favor given 
to class 2 wools in permitting their importation when washed at 
no higher duty than when unwashed is for the particular benefit of 
the importers of class 2 wools, who are principally the manufacturers 
using these wools, which shrink the least in washing and scouring. 

Class 3, coarse wools used only for carpets, are described as — 

Donskoi, native South American, Cordova, Valparaiso, native Smyrna, Russian 
camel's hair, and all such wools of like character as have heretofore been usually 
imported into the United States from Turkey, Greece, Syria, and elsewhere, 
excepting improved wools hereinafter provided for. 

Carpet wools are not produced to any extent in the United States, 
and form a large part of our wool imports. They are brought 
mainly from China, Eussia, the United Kingdom, and Turkey. These 
class 3 wools are the coarsest and cheapest and do not enter into the 
manufacture of clothing except occasionally and to a very slight 
extent. These wools, in the present act, are divided into two sub- 
classes according to value. Those valued at 12 cents or less per 
pound are dutiable at 4 cents per pound either washed or unwashed 
and not on the skin; those valued at over 12 cents per pound are 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 17 

dutiable at 7 cents per pound either washed or unwashed and not 
on the skin. As to both of these subclasses of class 3 wools, the 
above-mentioned rates are 1 cent per pound less if the wool is on the 
skin, or three times the amount if it is scoured. 

There is also in the present act a special provision by which the 
duty is doubled on wools of class 1 and class 2, " which shall be im- 
ported in any other than ordinary condition, or which has been sorted 
or increased in value by the rejection of any part of the original 
fleece," except that this provision does not apply to " skirted wools 
as imported in 1890 and prior thereto." Skirted wools are those in 
which the coarsest and least valuable wool has been removed from the 
fleece. The meaning of the exception in this provision is that wools 
which were commercially " skirted " in or prior to 1890 are not 
doubly taxed as sorted wools under the general terms of the provision. 

Imported wools are assigned to the classes above mentioned ac- 
cording to standard samples in the customhouses. It is also provided 
that whenever wools of class 3 — 

shall have been improved by the admixture of Merino or English blood from 
their present character, as represented by the standard samples now or here- 
after to be deposited in the principal customhouses of the United States, such 
improved wools shall be classified for duty either as class 1 or as class 2, as the 
case may be. 

The object of this provision is to apply the higher duties to class 
3 wools should they come in in such improved condition as to make 
them fit for use in the manufacture of clothing. 

There is no sufficient reason for continuing the complicated and 
troublesome system of classification of raw wools, with the differ- 
entiations, qualifications, exceptions, and special provisions involved 
therein. This system is a great burden and annoyance to the customs 
service and adds to the expense of collecting duties on raw wools. 
It adds to the labors of the appraisers and causes constant friction, 
annoyance, and litigation in the admission of imports and collection 
of duties. This system was provided and elaborated as a part of the 
establishment of specific and high duties on wool. The division of 
the wools into three classes appears first in the act of 1867. Raw 
wools are of so many varieties and involve so many shades of differ- 
ence in kind, quality, condition, and use that it is not possible to 
apply specific duties to them without a number of differentiations 
and special qualifications and provisions. It is plain that the exist- 
ing complicated and vexatious arrangement of specific duties on wool 
can not be permitted to continue. Natural conditions prevent the 
just operation of the arrangement. Wools are not used at all in the 
absolutely raw or greasy state as clipped from the sheep and as they 
usually come to the market. In this state the wool is loaded down 
with animal grease, dried sweat, dirt, sand, and other foreign sub- 
stances. It must be scoured and dried before passing to any stage 
of manufacture. In the scouring and drying the wool shrinks, and 
this shrinkage varies greatly. 

There is an almost endless variety of wools, according to the breed 
of the sheep and admixtures thereof, the countries and sections where 
the sheep are raised, and the conditions affecting the grazing and 
keeping. Almost every kind and variety of wool shrinks to a differ- 
ent degree in passing from the greasy to the scoured state, depending 

98048— H. Rept. 45, 62-1 2* 



18 WOOL AND MANUFACTUKES OF WOOL. 

upon the variety and handling of the sheep. Some wools shrink 
only 20 per cent, leaving 80 per cent of the weight clean and avail- 
able for use. Other wools shrink 80 per cent, leaving only 20 
per cent of the weight clean and available for use. Between these 
percentages of shrinkage there are all possible variations in the wools 
imported and in the domestic wools with which they compete. More- 
over, wools will vary to some extent in shrinkage in being transferred 
from the scoured condition into the finished cloth. 

The mere weight or bulk of the wool is not of much significance, 
as the utility of the fiber, and hence its value, depends on the amount 
and quality of what is left after scouring and working into the fin- 
ished fabric. It is the scoured weight obtained that determines the 
quantity of cloth that will be produced. The National Association 
of Wool Manufacturers, of Boston, Mass., published in their bulletin 
for 1910 the percentages of shrinkage of American wools, and their 
figures in this matter may be taken as conservative. They show that 
the wools of the group of States known as the East North Central 
States (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin), which 
may be taken as fairly and conservatively representative of the light- 
shrinkage wools of this country, shrink on an average 49 per cent 
from the greasy to the scoured condition. Those of the South 
Atlantic States average 44 per cent of such shrinkage. The wools 
of the Mountain States (Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, 
Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Nevada), which are the principal heavy- 
shrinking wools, average 66 per cent in shrinkage from the greasy 
to the scoured condition. 

As has been stated, Schedule K of the present act provides that 
the duty per pound on scoured wool in either of the three classes shall 
be three times the duty per pound on the unwashed wool. This in- 
volves the assumption that 3 pounds of unwashed wool are required 
to produce 1 pound of scoured wool — that is, that the shrinkage is 
two-thirds, or 66f per cent. This assumption is not based on fact. 
Some wools shrink two-thirds, a few more than this, but a great 
many considerably less. The worsted manufacturers gain a special 
advantage right along in importing light-shrinking wools. When 
they import 1,000 pounds of wool similar to or competing with 
the East North Central wool (or buy the East North Central 
wool), they pay in duties (or advance in domestic prices if the 
tariff is effective as protection) $120, at 12 cents per pound in the 
grease (the rate on class 2 wools). The result in the scoured condi- 
tion is 51 per cent (after 49 per cent shrinkage) or 510 pounds, which 
have paid $120 in duties (or equivalent in advanced price), or at the 
rate of about 23J cents per pound on a scoured basis. When the 
carded woolen manufacturers import 1,000 pounds of wool similar 
to or competing with the Mountain States wool (or use the Mountain 
States wool at prices advanced by the amount of the duty) , they pay 
in duties (or addition to price) $110, at 11 cents per pound in the 
grease (the rate on class 1 wools). The result in the scoured condi- 
tion is 34 per cent (after 66 per cent shrinkage), or 340 pounds, 
which have paid $110 in duties (or equivalent in advanced price), or 
at the rate of about 32^ cents per pound on a scoured basis. 

On a scoured basis, "the wool which the carded woolen manufac- 
turers must use is therefore taxed about 9 cents per pound more than 
the wool the worsted manufacturers must use. The average price 



WOOL AND MANUFACTUKES OF WOOL. 19 

of Territorial (or Mountain States) clothing wools on a scoured 
basis in the latest available market quotations (May 19, 1911) was 
55 cents per pound. If 9 cents of this price is the amount of the 
special discrimination made by the present tariff against the carded 
woolen manufacturers and in favor of their competitors, the worsted 
manufacturers, it means that the carded woolen manufacturers must 
struggle against a special and unjust discrimination against them 
amounting to over 16 per cent of the cost of all the wool they use. 
The carded woolen manufacturers claim that the discrimination 
against them is even greater than as estimated above. It appears 
that, because of the specific or pound duties, only the very lightest 
shrinking wool is imported, and the average shrinkage of the class 1 
and class 2 wools imported is estimated at 40 per cent. On this 
estimate in an importation of 1,000 pounds of wool in the grease, the 
result in scoured wool is 60 per cent, or 600 pounds, which, the greasy 
wool having paid $120 in duties, is at the rate of 20 cents per pound 
on a scoured basis. 

It also appears that because of their special advantages in the pres- 
ent arrangement of duties the worsted manufacturers are generally 
using imported rather than domestic light-shrinking wools. This 
situation is decidedly to the disadvantage of the woolgrowers in the 
New England States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu- 
setts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) , whose wools shrink 45 per cent 
on the average; the Middle Atlantic States (New York, New Jersey, 
and Pennsylvania), whose wools shrink 47 per cent on the average; 
the South Atlantic States (Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Vir- 
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida), whose 
wools shrink 44 per cent on the average; the East North Central 
States (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin), whose 
wools shrink 49 per cent on the average ; and the East South Central 
States (Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi) , whose wools 
shrink 39 per cent on the average. 

The unevenly heavy duty on the heavy-shrinking wool may be sup- 
posed to benefit a number of the American woolgrowers, those produc- 
ing the heavy-shrinking wools. Such, however, does not appear to be 
the case. It is not believed that the great majority of American 
growers of wool, heavy-shrinking or otherwise, favor a tariff which 
would give them a special advantage against others of their fellow 
citizens. The real situation appears to be that the uneven burdens 
imposed on the use of heavy-shrinking wools have seriously injured 
the carded-woolen manufacturers. According to their statements, 
their output has been seriously restricted, which means the closing of 
mills or much less work therein, to the distress of the workers, and 
much less use of raw wool than if their industry were permitted to 
make its way unhampered by legal discrimination. The American 
heavy-shrinking wools must find their market in the carded-woolen 
manufactures. 

Only trifling quantities of these wools are or can be used in other 
lines of manufacture, probably as much as 1 per cent in carpets, 
and not more than ' that in felts. The development of carded 
woolen manufactures is the most important matter for our Ameri- 
can heavy shrinking wools, which were about 75 per cent of the 
total American clip of 1910, as estimated by the National Asso- 
ciation of Wool Manufacturers. It is a great mistake to suppose 



20 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

that greater use of these wools can be forced by special burdens on 
the industry which takes them. These burdens are necessarily passed 
along into the price of the cloth, and as there is a limit to the 
price which the buyers of the wool cloth can and will pay for it, as 
the limit is approached or passed the buyers take instead cloth made 
of mixtures of cotton, wool, and shoddy. The carded woolen cloth 
constitutes in general the cheaper woolen clothing which the masses 
of our people must use, as worsted fabrics are generally more costly. 
The injury to carded woolen cloth therefore seriously deteriorates the 
clothing of the masses and limits the use of the wool for making it, 
and hence impairs the market for the woolgrowers' product. Under 
more equal and just conditions the American people could and would 
use much greater quantities of the cheaper and heavier woolen cloth- 
ing, and this would add greatly to the demand for American wool. 
There are indications that this truth is becoming clear to many of 
our woolgrowers, as some State associations have declined to approve 
the present Schedule K. 

It is evident that, owing to the natural conditions of wool and 
the use of it, specific duties on imports can not be just and equal. 
They must, in the nature of the case, bear much more heavily on 
some of our people than on others, injuring certain industries and 
giving improper advantages to others. With specific duties there 
must be a definite proportion or ratio established between those on the 
wool in the grease and on the washed and scoured wool. This ratio 
can fit but few of the many varied conditions, and, as it is too 
high or too low for the others, is bound to effect inequality and 
injustice. Likewise with specific duties a definite proportion or 
ratio must be established for fixing the compensatory duty to be 
levied on the manufactured cloth or other articles. This proportion 
must also be either too high or too low for a great many circum- 
stances, fabrics, and articles. The present proportions for compen- 
satory duties are admittedly too high. The only way by which to 
impose duties which shall be fair to all concerned is by the ad 
valorem method. The carded-woolen manufacturers and other 
manufacturers, merchants, and others urge that the only complete 
remedy for the inequalities in the duties on wool are ad valorem 
rates. They maintain that such rates are "fair to all — wool grower, 
worsted spinner, carded-woolen manufacturer, clothier, and con- 
sumer." It is also evident that no serious undervaluations are pos- 
sible under such duties. There are few commercial products whose 
values are more accurately and thoroughly known than are those of 
wool. The great bulk of the wool produced abroad is sold at public 
auctions, the principal market being in London. 

Wool has been subjected to high protective duties almost continu- 
ously from 1867 to date. In 1865 a few woolen manufacturers, 
chiefly from New England, calling themselves the National Associa- 
tion of Wool Manufacturers, began a series of conferences with a few 
gentlemen, mainly from New York and Ohio, who called themselves 
the National Association of Wool Growers. These two groups ar- 
ranged a combination of interests, and a bill which they agreed upon 
for increasing largely the duties on wool and woolens was incorpo- 
rated into the tariff bill introduced in the House of Kepresentatives 
in 1867. Although this tariff bill failed to pass, a special bill was 
taken up and made a law, in practically the form and substance 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 21 

agreed upon by the combination of wool manufacturers and wool 
growers. This act of March 2, 1867, was in effect until August 1, 
1872, when all duties were reduced 10 per cent, but the former rates 
were restored 03^ the act of March 3, 1875, and continued until the 
act of March 3, 1883, went into effect. Under the act of 1867 the 
duties on class 1 and class 2 wools were compound, or partly specific 
and partly ad valorem; on class 3, or carpet wools, the duties were 
specific. Under the rates of this act, as restored in 1875, in the period 
from 1875 to 1883, the average ad valorem equivalent of the entire 
duty was 54.33 per cent on wools of class 1, 45.98 per cent on class 2, 
and 27.64 per cent on class 3, or 38.56 per cent average on all three 
classes. 

The act of 1883 reduced duties on classes 1 and 2 wools, unwashed, 
when valued at 32 cents per pound or less, from 10 cents a pound and 

11 per cent ad valorem to 10 cents a pound ; and, when valued at over 
32 cents per pound, from 12 cents per pound and 10 per cent ad 
valorem to 12 cents per pound. On class 3 wools, unwashed, the rates 
were reduced from 3 cents to 2^ cents per pound on wool valued at 

12 cents per pound or less, and from 6 cents to 5 cents per pound on 
wool valued at over 12 cents per pound. Under this act, from 1883 to 
1890, the average ad valorem equivalent of the duty was 49.47 per cent 
on class 1, 42.64 per cent on class 2, 26.03 per cent on class 3, and 34.58 
per cent on all three classes. These rates continued until the McKinley 
Act went into effect on October 6, 1890. This act made the rate on un- 
washed wools 11 cents per pound on class 1 of all values, 12 cents per 
pound on class 2 of all values, and, on class 3, 32 per cent when valued 
at 13 cents per pound or less, and 50 per cent when valued at over 13 
cents per pound. Under this act, from 1890 to 1894, the average ad 
valorem equivalent of the duties was 54.71 per cent on class 1, 51.31 per 
cent on class 2, 32.31 per cent on class 3, and 42.20 per cent on all three 
classes. On August 28, 1894, the Wilson tariff came into effect, which 
made all wools free of duty, and continued in force until July 24, 1897, 
when the present rates came into effect under the general tariff act of 
that year. These rates on unwashed wool are the same as those of the 
act of 1890 for classes 1 or 2, and those for class 3 wools were changed 
to 4 cents per pound when valued at 12 cents per pound or less, and 
7 cents per pound when valued at over 12 cents per pound. Under 
these rates, from 1897 to 1910, inclusive, the average ad valorem 
equivalent of the duties has been 52.15 per cent on class 1, 50.54 per 
cent on class 2, 39.76 per cent on class 3, and 46.85 per cent on all 
three classes. 

It will be noted that in the period from 1867 to the present time, 
omitting the three years from August 28, 1894, to July 24, 1897, 
when wools were on the free list, the average ad valorem equivalent 
of the duties on unmanufactured wools has been about 52.26 per cent 
on class 1, 49.72 per cent on class 2, 32.03 per cent on class 3, and 44.13 
per cent on all three classes. It will be noted also that ad valorem 
duties on wools were in effect from 1867 to 1883 on classes 1 and 2, 
and from 1890 to 1894 on class 3 wools. A survey of the facts con- 
cerning wool in the 40 years between 1867 and 1910, in which 
protective duties have prevailed, shows that such duties, while impos- 
ing enormous burdens on the general public, and while generally 
carrying special discriminations, intended or otherwise, favoring 
certain groups of woolgrowers and wool manufacturers as against 



22 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

others, have not kept either the woolgrowing or wool manufacturing 
industry as a whole, in a satisfactory, firm or healthy condition. 
These industries were in excellent condition in 1860, after a long 
period of moderate duties for revenue purposes. 

The increase of the tariff in 1842 to a protective basis, from the 
revenue basis established in 1833, was not long maintained and was 
followed by the revenue tariff of 1846, under which the duty on all 
wools was 30 per cent ad valorem. This tariff of 1846 continued 
in force until 1857, at which time the revenue collected under the 
tariff exceeded the expenditures of the Government, and duties on 
imports were cut down to reduce revenue. By the act of 1857 
wool of the value of not over 20 cents per pound was made free 
of duty, and when valued at over 20 cents per pound was made dutia- 
ble at 24 per cent ad valorem. This tariff continued in force until 
1861. The 14 years from 1846 to 1861 were years of great prosperity 
in all branches of production, manufacture, and trade. It is agreed 
by historians that this prosperity was not confined to any single in- 
dustry or group of industries, nor to any part of the country, but was 
general throughout the United States, and that the commercial crisis 
in 1857, which was due entirely to overspeculation and wildcat en- 
terprises, was sharp but short, and did not check the long-continued 
prosperity of all classes. 

The year 1861 brought abnormal conditions Avith the war, and 
the increases in the wool duties in 1861 and 1864 were incident to 
urgent Treasury conditions and war purposes. The act of April 1, 
1861, made the rate of duty on all wools 5 per cent when valued at less 
than 18 cents per pound, 3 cents per pound when valued at 18 and 
not over 24 cents per pound, and 9 cents per pound when valued at 
over 24 cents per pound. The average ad valorem equivalent of the 
duties on all wools under this act, from 1861 to 1864, was 6.48 per cent. 
The act of June 30, 1864, was passed when greatly increased revenue 
was urgently needed. It increased the duties on wools to 3 cents per 
pound when valued at 12 cents or less per pound, 6 cents per pound 
when valued at over 12 and not over 24 cents per pound, 10 cents per 
pound and 10 per cent ad valorem when valued at over 24 cents and 
not over 32 cents per pound, and 12 cents per pound andlO per cent 
ad valorem when valued at over 32 cents per pound. High rates of 
duty on the wools of higher value appear here as necessities of war. 
The average ad valorem equivalent of the duties on all wools from 
1864 to 1867 was 26.35 per cent. 

This act of 1864 was in force until March 2, 1867, when the bill 
prepared by the combination of certain woolgrowers and wool manu- 
facturers was enacted. This act of 1867 was the beginning of the 
era of the present high protective duties on wool for private profits, 
as distinguished from public purposes, and it is now thoroughly un- 
derstood by the people, and at last admitted by President Taft, that 
this period of extreme high protection was not established for the 
public welfare, and can no longer be tolerated. 

In the decade from 1850 to 1860, under the revenue tariffs of 1846 
and 1857, the wealth of the country increased from $307.69 to 
$513.93 per capita, an increase of 67 per cent. The population in- 
creased about 36 per cent. The per capita consumption of wool 
increased from 5.58 pounds in 1850 to 6.80 pounds in 1860, an in- 
crease of about 22 per cent. From 1S40 to 1850 the increase was 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 23 

24 per cent, or at about the same rate. All natural conditions favored 
the steady, healthy, and prosperous development of wool growing 
and wool manufacturing. There was a steady increase in the popu- 
lar demand for wool. Prices increased, as shown by the record of 
prices of washed Ohio fleece wool in the eastern markets, from 
37 cents per pound in 1850 for medium grade, on July 1, to 50 cents 
for the same grade at the same time in 1860, or an increase of about 
35 per cent. During the same period the price of middling 
cotton increased from 12.1 cents per pound in 1850 to 13 cents in 
1860, the price of wheat (No. 2 red winter) increased from 86 cents 
per bushel in 1850 to $1.16 per bushel in 1860, and the price of corn 
(No. 2 mixed) increased from 41 cents per bushel in 1850 to 45 cents 
in 1860. Wool, therefore, enjoyed an exceptionally good advance 
in. price. The very satisfactory condition of wool growing and 
wool manufacturing in the period mentioned is easily understood. 
Our people have a natural need for wool, and under natural and 
fair conditions would use it abundantly. 

In the 43 years from 1867 to 1910 in which high tariffs have 
prevailed, including high protective duties on wool and woolen 
goods, except for the three years from 1894 to 1897. the population 
of the country increased 154 per cent (from' 36,211.000. as estimated 
for 1867, to 91.972,266 in 1910). The per capita wealth increased 
from $779.83 in 1870 to $1,495 in 1910, an increase of about 92 per 
cent. The per capita consumption of wool, which was 6.80 pounds 
in I860, had increased by 1870 to 7.93 pounds. In 1910 this per capita 
consumption was 7.11 pounds. After 40 years of very high protec- 
tive duties on wool and woolen goods, this per capita consumption is 
less to-day than it was in 1870, and has declined to a figure not much 
in excess of that of 1860. This decline has not been an even one. 
The per capita consumption increased from 7.93 pounds in 1870 to 
8.52 pounds in 1880, and 9.24 pounds in 1890. These figures are for 
the net domestic consumption of all wool, including both the raw 
wool and the wool equivalent in the manufactured fabrics. This 
entire net consumption constitutes the complete and real statement 
of the entire wool consumption of our people, and these complete 
figures of per capita wool consumption are available for the period 
from 1840 to date (Table 40). The entire increase in this wool 
consumption in the 20 years from 1870 to 1890 was 1.31 pounds 
per capita, or a little over 16 per cent, as compared with an increase 
of 1.22 pounds per capita in this domestic consumption, or 22 per 
cent in the 10 years from 1850 to 1860. Since 1890 there has been 
a decline in the* entire consumption of wool per capita. In 1890 the 
net per capita consumption of the fine wools (classes 1 and 2), as 
derived from all the statistics of production, imports and exports, 
of raw wools, was 5.53 pounds, while the entire domestic consumption 
of all raw wools and wool equivalent in fabrics was 9.24 pounds 
per capita. 

In the four years under the act of 1890— namely, 1891, 1892, 1893, 
and 1894 — the average per capita consumption of the fine wools 
(classes 1 and 2) was 5.76 pounds, and the average percentage of im- 
ports to net domestic consumption was 13.48. In the three years 
under the act of 1894— namely, 1895, 1896, and 1897— the average 
per capita consumption of these fine wools was 5.84 pounds, and 
the average percentage of imports to net domestic consumption was 



24 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

33. In the 12 years under the act of 1897— namely, 1898 to 1909, 
both inclusive — the average per capita consumption of the fine wools 
was 5.78 pounds, and the average percentage of imports to net do- 
mestic consumption was 38.23. These figures indicate that, under 
the present era of protective duties, the per capita consumption of 
the fine wools, those used for the clothing of the people, is less than 
it was during the life of the act of 1894, and that under the high 
duties a larger percentage of this consumption was imported than 
had been the case before. 

In 1890 the domestic consumption per capita of raw wool and wool 
equivalent in fabrics was 9.24 pounds, and the domestic production 
was 73.83 per cent of the consumption. In 1900 the corresponding 
consumption of all wool was 6.07 pounds per capita, and the do- 
mestic production was 69.6 per cent of the consumption. It may 
be said from the protection standpoint that the interruption of 
protective duties which occurred from 1894 to 1897 was a serious 
factor working for the decline in per capita total wool consump- 
tion which is shown in the census statistics of 1900. However, the 
per capita consumption of the fine wools (classes 1 and 2) for the 
years of the lower Wilson tariff shows an increase from 5.35 pounds 
in 1893 to 6.01 pounds in 1895 and 7.15 pounds in 1896. These are the 
only figures of per capita consumption available for each year be- 
tween the census periods 1890 and 1900, but the very heart of the 
matter is involved in the consumption of the fine wools. A study of 
each of the years from 1890 to 1900 shows that the average annual 
consumption per capita of the fine wools was 5.84 pounds under the 
low-tariff years of the act of 1894 and 5.77 pounds under the high- 
tariff years of the acts of 1890 and 1897. 

In the 10 years from 1900 to 1910 the present high protective duties 
on wool and woolen goods have prevailed without any interruption, 
and there have been no unusual business conditions in these years ex- 
cept those incident to the panic of 1907, which can not be attributed 
by anyone to change or contemplated change in tariff legislation. In 
1910 the total domestic consumption of raw wool and wool equivalent 
in fabrics was 7.11 pounds per capita, as compared with 6.07 pounds 
in 1900. The percentage of domestic production to this total con- 
sumption was 56.12, as compared with 69.6 per cent in 1890. This 
comparison shows that, while the total per capita consumption in- 
creased 1.04 pounds, or about 17 per cent, in the 10 years (in which 
the population increased about 21 per cent) , the domestic production 
declined per capita from 3.80 pounds to 3.57 pounds. A similar com- 
parison of the statistics of the consumption of the fine wools (classes 
1 and 2) in the same period shows that while the consumption of 
these wools per capita increased from 5.75 pounds in 1900 to 6.43 
pounds in 1910 the percentage of imports to this consumption in- 
creased from 26.7 per cent in 1900 to 44.9 per cent in 1910, so that 
the actual domestic production of these wools per capita really de- 
clined from 4.21 pounds in 1900 to 3.54 pounds in 1910. 

This survey of the statistics to date shows that the domestic pro- 
duction of wool per capita is declining in the face of a steady and 
increasing demand for wool. This persistence of the demand is 
shown by the fact that, notwithstanding the existing high duties*, 
44.9 per cent of the net domestic consumption of wool was im- 
ported in 1909 and 46.4 per cent in 1908. In the three years 1895, 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 



25 



1896, and 1897, under the Wilson tariff, the average percentage of 
imports to the net domestic consumption of raw wools was 45.4 per 
cent. Notwithstanding the actual demand of the people for wool, 
the prices of the domestic wools in the period from 1900 to 1910 
have not been satisfactory to the growers.

The fact must be faced, therefore, that the 40 years of high pro- 
tective duties have entirely failed to really help the wool growing 



26 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

industry as a whole. This long, troublesome, and costly experiment 
has not yielded the results claimed by its advocates. The test of 
long experience, by which every human project must stand or fall, 
proves that the protective duties on wool do not serve a useful pur- 
pose. The protection theory involved, if indeed it was ever sincerely 
believed by its promoters and principal advocates, has broken down. 
The excessive burdens forced upon the consumers under the present 
high duties have driven them to use other textile fabrics in place of 
woolen goods to a very great extent. It is characteristic of policies in 
restraint of trade that they are driven to extremes by the beneficiaries 
they make powerful and injure the fair opportunities of all. 

The principal part of our wool growing is now in the far western 
or mountain States, which in 1910 produced about 50 per cent of the 
total domestic clip. For a number of years the raising of sheep for 
wool has been a comparatively small incident of agriculture in the 
older and Eastern States. It is evident that the development of 
agriculture in the West is bringing into more profitable use a great 
deal of land heretofore used only for pasturage, and with the steady 
increase in our population pasturage must give way more and more 
to agriculture throughout continental United States. The raising 
of large numbers of sheep requires great ranges of suitable grazing 
land, with suitable water and soil conditions. It is therefore evi- 
dent that in the future, with our rapidly increasing population, if 
our people are to continue to use wool for clothing to a great extent, 
a larger percentage of the domestic consumption must be imported 
than has been the case heretofore. This will not mean a less demand 
for our domestic wools, but a greater and better demand for all the 
domestic wool that can be raised, if unwise restrictions discouraging 
the use of wool are avoided. It is maintained by a very large num- 
ber of our best economists and statesmen that the economic situation 
involved in our rapid progress as a nation requires that our ports 
should be thrown open to the importation of wool free of duty ; and 
this view, based on the most profound consideration of the public 
welfare, has found expression in Democratic legislation. It is the 
constant intent of the Democratic Party to make the burden of tariff 
taxes as light as possible for the people, and to levy tariff taxes on 
a revenue basis as promptly as possible, for the party recognizes 
no justification whatever for tariff taxes except the necessity of 
revenue. 

The present situation of the Treasury, following a long course of 
unwarranted extravagance by the Republican Party, and the appro- 
priations already made by the Sixty-first Congress, which the Demo- 
cratic minority could not limit, require that the revenue from cus- 
toms duties in the immediate future be maintained at approximately 
the total of the fiscal year 1910. Under the compulsion of this 
situation the committee finds it necessary to recommend a moderate 
revenue dut}^ on unmanufactured wools, and the bill herewith re- 
ported provides that all raw wools of whatever class or kind shall 
be subject to a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem. This rate is less than 
half of the existing rates computed on an ad valorem basis, for the 
average ad valorem equivalent of the duties collected on all raw 
wools in the fiscal year 1910 was 44.31 per cent and 49.14 per cent for 
1909. 

The bill H. R. 11019 is not to be construed as an abandonment of 
any Democratic policy ; but in view of the Democratic platform for 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 27 

a "gradual reduction of the tariff," and of the depleted and de- 
pleting condition of the public Treasury, a result of Republican ex- 
travagance, a tariff of 20 per cent ad valorem on raw wool is now 
proposed as a revenue necessity. 

In the fiscal year 1910, the duties collected on the imports of raw 
wool amounted to $21,128,728.74. Of this amount $12,289,700.72 
was received from wools of class 1, of which the average import 
value was 23 cents per pound, and on which the average ad 
valorem equivalent of the duties collected was 47.54 per cent. 
Class 2 wools yielded $3,212,413.03 in duties, the average im- 
port value being 25.9 cents per pound and the average ad valorem 
equivalent of the duties collected 46.25 per cent. Class 3 wools 
yielded $5,626,614.99 in duties, the average import value being 12.6 
cents per pound and the average ad valorem equivalent of the duties 
collected 37.79 per cent. On all the raw ayooIs of the three classes 
the average import value was 18.6 cents per pound, and the average 
ad valorem equivalent of the duties collected was 44.31 per cent. 

In the fiscal year 1909, the duties collected on the imports of 
raw wool amounted to $17,081,745.94, the average import value 
being 16.6 cents per pound and the average ad valorem equiva- 
lent of the duties collected 49.14 per cent. For the last five years, 
ended June 30, 1910, the revenue from the duties on raw wool has 
averaged $16,755,724 per year. 

It is estimated that under present conditions the revenue duty of 
20 per cent on all unmanufactured wools, as provided for in the bill 
H. R. 11019, will produce a revenue of about $13,398,200. This esti- 
mate was made by a representative of the Treasury Department 
through a study of the imports of 1896 in comparison with like im- 
ports of 1892, 1893, and 1894, reasoning that a similar reduction in 
rates in 1911 would have a similar effect, as compared with like im- 
ports of 1908, 1909, and 1910, upon the imports for 1912, which latter 
year is assumed to be the first year under the operation of the pro- 
posed act. It is difficult to estimate the revenue to be expected from 
changes in tariff rates, and especially difficult when the changes are 
substantial reductions. It is apparent that the reduction of rates will 
tend to increase importations, other things being equal, but in esti- 
mating the probable extent or proportion of the increase in importa- 
tions many difficulties are encountered and many factors have to be 
considered. Vague expectations and surmises are valueless and un- 
safe. Fortunately, the experience of the Treasury under the tariff 
act of 1894, which made substantial reductions of preceding high 
rates, affords a real and actual basis of comparison concerning the 
probable effect of substantial reductions now proposed from the ex- 
isting high rates, and the experience under the tariff of 1894 is the 
only tangible basis that can be found for estimating revenues under 
the proposed act. Owing to the short period during which the act of 
1894 was in effect and the world-wide and domestic financial and 
industrial disturbances which prevailed during most of that period, 
the only normal year under that act was the fiscal year 1896. 
The agent of the Treasury therefore took the imports of the 
fiscal year 1896 for comparison with like imports of preceding 
and subsequent years. The average of the imports for the six years 
1892, 1893, 1894, and 1898, 1899, and 1900 was compared with those 
of 1896. A period of two years elapsed between the first period 



28 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

of 1892-1894 and 1896, and two years likewise between 1896 and the 
period 1898-1900. There is a similar interval between the last period 
studied, 1908-1910, and the year 1912, for which the estimate is made. 
As the intervals between the periods are of the same duration, the 
factor involved in increased consumption from the increasing wealth 
and population of the country is proportionately embraced in each 
division of the comparison. 

The average value of the imports of raw wools for the six years 
1892, 1893, 1894, 1898, 1899, and 1900 was $11,634,696. The value of 
the imports for 1896 was $32,144,454, or 2.762 times the average 
under high duties, derived as stated. As raw wools were free of duty 
in 1896, the reduction of duty was 100 per cent from the preceding 
high rate. The average value of the imports for 1908, 1909, and 1910 
was $36,388,474, which multiplied by 2.762 gives $100,506,000 as the 
probable value of the imports of 1912 if wools were free of duty, as 
in 1896. The average ad valorem duty for the three years 1908, 1909, 
and 1910 was 45.4 per cent. A change to 20 per cent ad valorem 
would be a reduction of duty to the extent of 56 per cent. On the 
basis of a table of ratios graded along the entire range of possible 
rate reductions and derived from the ascertained historical ratio of 
2.762, realized from the 100 per cent reduction in 1896, it is found that 
the proposed reduction to 20 per cent (or to the extent of 56 per cent 
of existing rate) indicates probable imports of $66,991,000, which, 
at 20 per cent, would yield $13,398,200. 

Estimates of probable revenue were also made by the committee 
through its own agents, on the basis of the experience of 1896, 
through calculations of the percentage of imports to domestic con- 
sumption in 1896 and comparisons of this with like percentages in 
1892 and 1910 under high-tariff rates, and deductions therefrom of 
probable percentage of imports to consumption in 1912 under the 
proposed new rates, checked up by careful consideration of actual 
business conditions of the present. The domestic consumption of 
1912 was estimated from the census statistics, with proper allowance 
for the proportionate continuance of the growth of recent years. An 
estimate on this basis indicates that the probable domestic consump- 
tion of raw wools will be about 609,000,000 pounds, which, at 18.6 
cents per pound, the average import value of 1910, would amount to 
$113,274,000 in value, of which the estimated imports would be about 
55 per cent (the percentage was 57 per cent in 1896 and 45 per cent 
in 1910), or $62,300,000 in value, which, at 20 per cent ad valorem, 
would yield in duties about $12,460,000. This estimate, reached in- 
dependently and by a different method of calculation, is not very 
far away from the estimate of $13,398,200, which latter is taken as 
the working estimate in the summary of the committee's calculations. 

WOOL WASTES, SHODDY, RAGS, ETC. 

The bill H. R. 11019 provides in one paragraph (2) for all the wool 
wastes, shoddies, mungo, flocks, wool extract, carbonized wool, carbon- 
ized noils, and rags composed wholly or in part of wool, and on all these 
articles, including wool wastes and woolen rags not specially provided 
for, imposes a uniform duty of 20 per cent ad valorem, the same 
as on unmanufactured wools. It has been the Democratic policy to 
treat the principal wool wastes in the same way as raw wools are 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 29 

treated in tariff legislation. Such was the case in the Wilson bill 
in 1894 as it was passed by the House of Representatives, in the 
Springer bill of 1892, and in the Mills bill of 1888. In the Wilson 
Act of 1894 the Senate imposed a duty of 15 per cent on shoddy, 
noils, wool extract, yarn waste, thread waste, and other wastes, 
although leaving raw wools free of duty ; but in the Springer bill of 
1892 and the Mills bill of 1888 these articles were treated exactly 
like raw wools. As to woolen rags, mungo, and flocks, the Wilson Act 
of 1894 made the rate 15 per cent, while the rate proposed in the 
Springer bill of 1892 was 25 per cent. The Mills bill of 1888 treated 
these articles exactly like raw wools. 

With regard to the matter of revenue and also the present condition 
of the woolen and worsted industries, it is believed that there should 
be no discrimination in the rate of duty between any of the wastes or 
by-products, shoddies of any sort, and woolen rags. 

All of these articles are materials that are worked up with the raw 
wools into fabrics. Some of the wastes are by-products of some mills 
and necessary materials of others, and the conditions of manufacture 
change and vary. Changing and shifting differences of value are ad- 
justed equitably as to the duty by the ad valorem rate, and no op- 
portunity is left for injustice in connection with peculiar and intri- 
cate manufacturing relations. Great injustice is done to the woolen 
as distinguished from the worsted manufacturers by the existing 
rates on wastes, which are specific. Noils, top waste, slubbing waste, 
roving waste, ring waste, thread waste, etc., are all by-products made 
by worsted manufacturers in the process of making worsted yarns. 
Noils are secured from the combing process and are necessary raw 
material for the woolen manufacturers. They are made from class 
2, or combing wools, much of which are imported washed, and, as 
has been noted, enjoy a special discrimination in their favor under 
the existing law on account of the peculiar provisions as to washed 
wools and also on account of the light shrinkage of these wools. 
Notwithstanding these special discriminations, noils are dutiable at 
20 cents per pound, providing an additional burden for the woolen 
manufacturers. 

It is evident at the present time that high duties on the by-products 
and on shoddies, mungo, flocks, wool extract, etc., and rags, do not 
reduce the use of these articles unless the use of wool is also reduced, 
as the cheaper substitutes must constantly be used to keep the cost of 
cheaper woolen clothirig within reach of many persons of small 
means. No benefit is conferred on the woolgrower by high duties on 
shoddy, etc. If imports are actually restricted, domestic production 
is correspondingly stimulated, and there is no net advantage in the 
situation to the growers of wool. Their best advantage is in the 
conditions which foster the greatest possible use of cheaper woolen 
clothing by the masses. 

The existing duties on the wastes, shoddies, and rags are provided 
for in paragraphs 372, 373, and 374 of the act of 1909. These duties 
are improperly and unfairly proportioned. On the actual imports 
of the fiscal year 1910, the ad valorem equivalents of the duties col- 
lected ranged from 32.06 per cent on noils to 38.08 per cent on rags 
and flocks, 57.97 per cent on yarn, thread, and other wastes and wool 
extract, and 375 per cent on shoddy. The average ad valorem 



30 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

equivalent of the duties collected on all the articles of the group was 
38.96 per cent. The imports of the fiscal year 1910 were, in value, 
$203,509.25, and the duties collected thereon $79,293. From the 
census statistics of the domestic consumption of " tailor's clippings, 
rags, shoddy, and wool, camel's hair, etc., and mohair waste and 
noils," the consumption of which has been declining for a number of 
years past, and which classification apparently covers practically the 
same articles as the tariff classification of " rags, mungo, flocks, noils, 
shoddy, and waste," it is estimated that the domestic consumption 
for 1912 will be, in value, $12,543,000, and that the imports will be 
7.10 per cent of • the domestic consumption. This percentage is 
reached from consideration of like percentages in 1892, 1896, and 
1910, and with regard to existing business conditions. At this per- 
centage, the imports for 1912 are estimated to be $890,500, and the 
proposed rate of 20 per cent thereon would yield in duties $178,107, 
or over twice the amount of revenue now derived from this group 
of articles. If an estimate of duties under the proposed rate were 
made simply on the basis of the actual imports of the fiscal year 
1910, which were $79,293 in value, the estimate of duties to be ex- 
pected in 1912 would be about $15,900. 

COMBED WOOL OR TOPS. 

The process of manufacturing worsted cloth may be considered as 
divided generally into four stages : ( 1 ) The operations for cleaning the 
wool; (2) from the wool to the tops; (3) from the tops to the yarns; 
and (4) from the yarns to the cloth. The tops are straightened 
fibers, after the combing, and hence are otherwise known as combed 
wool. The combing process, which is used only in making worsted 
yarn, removes the short fibers or noils, and combs the long fibers 
so that they lie parallel to each other. The yarns are spun from the 
tops, and the cloth is woven from the yarns. 

As has been already stated, one of the very few changes in the act 
of 1909 from that of 1897 was in the provision of an additional and 
new paragraph, No. 375 of the act of 1909, which provided explicitly 
that — 

on combed wool or tops, made wholly or in part of wool or camel's hair, valued 
at not more than twenty cents per pound, the duty per pound shall be two 
and one-fourth times the duty imposed by this schedule on unwashed wool of 
the first class; valued at more than twenty cents per pound, the duty per 
pound shall be three and one-third times the duty imposed by this schedule on 
one pound of unwashed wool of the first class ; and in addition thereto, upon all 
the foregoing, thirty per centum ad valorem. 

As the established duty on unwashed wool of the first class is 11 
cents per pound, the effect of the new paragraph is to make tops 
valued at not more than 20 cents per pound dutiable at 24f cents 
per pound and 30 per cent ad valorem, and those valued at more than 
20 cents per pound dutiable at 36f cents per pound and 30 per cent 
ad valorem. Prior to the act of 1909, tops were not specially men- 
tioned or specially provided for, but were, assessed for duty under the 
provisions of paragraph 364 of the act of 1897 (continued in exactly 
the same form as paragraph 376 of the act of 1909), and which 
reads : 

Wool and hair which have been advanced in any manner or by any process 
of manufacture beyond the washed or scoured condition, not specially provided 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 31 

for in this section, shall be subject to the same duties as are imposed upon 
manufactures of wool not specially provided for in this section. 

This paragraph in its present form was put into the act of 1897 
through the manipulation of William Whitman, one of the principal 
factors of the organization called the National Association of Wool 
Manufacturers. This fact was established in the hearings before 
the Ways and Means Committee in 1909. The wording of the para- 
graph was cleverly contrived to conceal the duty on tops, which were 
the principal articles intended to be provided for in the paragraph, 
and which were made "subject to the same duties as are (were) im- 
posed upon manufactures of wool not specially provided for in this 
act." The duty on "manufactures of wool not specially provided 
for," which was thus craftily imposed on tops, was provided for in 
paragraph 366 of the act of 1897 (continued in exactly the same form 
as paragraph 378 of the act of 1909) in these words: 

On cloths, knit fabrics, and all manufactures of every description made 
wholly or in part of wool, not specially provided for in this act, valued at not 
more than forty cents per pound, the duty per pound shall be three times the 
duty imposed by this act on a pound of unwashed wool of the first class; 
valued at above forty cents per pound and not above seventy cents per pound, 
the duty per pound shall be four times the duty imposed by this act on one 
pound of unwashed wool of the first class, and in addition thereto upon all 
the foregoing fifty per centum ad valorem ; valued at over seventy cents per 
pound the duty per pound shall be four times the duty imposed by this act on 
one pound of unwashed wool of the first class and fifty-five per centum ad 
valorem. 

The effect of the complicated and tricky arrangement for the duty 
on tops was to make the rate higher on tops than on the yarns spun 
from the tops, with additional labor and expense. Yarns were duti- 
able under paragraph 365 of the act of 1897 at two and one-half 
times the duty per pound on unwashed wool of the first class and 
40 per cent ad valorem when valued at not more than 30 cents per 
pound, and three and one-half times the duty per pound on unwashed 
wool of the first class and 40 per cent ad valorem when valued at 
more than 30 cents per pound. Consequently, tops valued at not 
more than 40 cents per pound were dutiable at 33 cents per pound 
and 50 per cent ad valorem, while yarns paid 27-J cents per pound if 
valued at not more than 30 cents per pound and 38J cents per pound 
if valued at more than 30 cents per pound, and, in addition for either 
class, 40 per cent ad valorem. Tops valued at over 70 cents per pound 
were taxed 44 cents per pound and 55 per cent ad valorem, while 
yarns of the highest classification as to value were taxed 384 cents 
per pound and 40 per cent ad valorem. 

This arrangement was apparently much to the profit of William 
Whitman and to his particular industry, the Arlington mills, of 
Lawrence, Mass., which is said to be the largest top mill in the 
United States. It was evidently the intention of the Ways and 
Means Committee in 1909 to continue the special and generous pro- 
tection to Mr. Whitman on tops, but the publicity given to the matter 
prevented the carrying out of this plan, and the new paragraph on 
tops was provided as above mentioned. Prior to the enactment of 
this new paragraph, the imports of tops were not separately reported 
as distinguished from the other articles covered by the paragraph 
on " wool and hair advanced, etc." However, the imports on 



32 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

tops are now separately reported under the act of 1909. For the 
fiscal year 1910 the actual imports were 1,868 pounds, valued at 
$838, or at the average value per pound of 44.9 cents. The duties 
collected on these imports amounted to $936.33, the average ad 
valorem equivalent of the rate of duty being 111.73 per cent. The 
rate is prohibitive, and the present imports are insignificant. It is 
evident that Mr. Whitman and the Arlington Mills are still enjoying 
their special favors. In the same fiscal year, 1910, the average ad 
valorem equivalent of the duties collected on yarns was 82.38 per 
cent. 

In the bill H. E. 11019, paragraphs 375 (on combed wool or tops) 
and 376 (wool and hair advanced, etc.) of the act of 1909 are combined 
in one paragraph (3), and in the text the words " and roving or rop- 
ing " are inserted after the words " on combed wool or tops." This 
arrangement makes for the greater compactness and simplicity of the 
bill, and follows the arrangement and phraseology of the act of 1890 
in this respect, in which act wool " in the form of roving, roping, or 
tops " and " wool and hair advanced, etc.," were provided for in one 
paragraph (No. 390) and made subject to the same duties as manu- 
factures of wool not specially provided for. Paragraph 3 of the bill 
H. R. 11019 provides the uniform rate of 25 per cent ad valorem 
on all the articles covered by the paragraph. It is important that the 
scale of duties be graduated fairly and equitably according to the 
various stages of manufacture; that is, the additional labor and ex- 
pense involved in the various manufactured articles under Schedule 
K. There is a difference of 5 per cent between the rate on wool and 
the rate on the articles under this paragraph as provided for in the 
bill, and this is a fair margin with respect to the advance toward 
finished articles which is involved in tops. 

In the fiscal year 1910 the imports of " wool and hair advanced in 
any manner, etc." (other than tops), amounted to only 233J pounds, 
valued at $291.80, the average value per pound being $1.25. The 
duties collected thereon amounted to $252.08, the average ad valorem 
equivalent of the rate being 86.33 per cent. 

By far the larger part of this very small group of imports was of 
articles averaging $2 per pound in value. On trifling imports of 
cheaper articles in the group, valued at 70 and 16 cents per pound, 
respectively, the ad valorem equivalent of the duties collected was 
112.86 and 252.20 per cent, respectively. 

On the actual imports of 1910, the rate of duty, 25 per cent ad 
valorem, provided for in the bill H. R. 11019 would yield in revenue 
only $209.50 on tops and $72.95 on " wool and hair advanced, etc." 
However, the existing duties are plainly prohibitive and were imposed 
without any purpose of obtaining revenue therefrom. The imports at 
present are insignificant. The proposed rate is a reduction of con- 
siderably more than 50 per cent of the existing duties. It is pe- 
culiarly difficult to form a fair estimate of the probable imports of 
tops under, the reduced rate, because the imports of these articles 
were not separately reported under any of the tariff acts preceding 
the act of 1909, and it is believed that prior to the act of 1894 prac- 
tically no worsted tops had ever been imported into the United 
States. Hence, no study can be made of actual experience with im- 
ports of this article under moderate duties. However, it is estimated 



WOOL AXD MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 33 

that on account of the present improved equipment and greater ad- 
vantages of the domestic manufacturers of tops they will be able to 
suppry 95 per cent of the domestic consumption under the reduced 
duty, leaving only 5 per cent to be imported. From the census sta- 
tistics of the consumption of tops in wool and worsted manufactures 
in 1910 and earlier years, it is estimated that the domestic consump- 
tion of this article in 1912 will be about the same as that reported in 
1910, which was valued at $14,615,000. Imports to the extent of 
5 per cent of this quantity would amount to $730,750 in value, on 
which amount the rate of 25 per cent ad valorem would yield $182,700 
in duties. 

As to the other group of articles included in paragraph 3, those 
under the description of " wool and hair which have been advanced 
in any manner," etc. (other than tops), as these articles can not 
be closely identified, imports can not be compared with domestic 
consumption. The existing rates of duty are very high, averaging 
86.33 per cent ad valorem for the fiscal jeav 1910, and 141.50 
per cent for that ended June 30, 1909 (when tops were included 
in the group). The rates are prohibitive and the imports incon- 
siderable. Imports of articles in this group were not separately 
reported under the acts of 1890 and 1894, and hence comparison can 
not be made of actual imports under various rates.. The rate pro- 
vided for in the bill, 25 per cent, is less than one-third of the average 
rate in 1910. It may be estimated that the imports of 1909, $879, 
although including tops, indicate average imports of this small group 
under a high rate of duty, and that the large proposed reduction from 
the prohibitive rate would result in imports of double the amount, or 
$1,758, on which the rate of 25 per cent ad valorem would yield about 
$400 in duties. The total estimated duties from all articles included 
under the paragraph 3 are, therefore, $183,100. which would be a 
great increase over the petty and insignificant revenue now being ob- 
tained from the existing prohibitive rates. 

YARNS. 

In the present Schedule K, yarns are provided for in paragraph 377 
of the act of 1909, which reads as follows: 

On yarns made wholly or in part of wool, valued at not more than thirty 
cents per pound, the duty per pound shall be two and one-half times the duty 
imposed by this section on<one pound of unwashed wool of the first class, and 
in addition thereto thirty-five per centum ad valorem ; valued at more than 
thirty cents per pound, the duty per pound shall be three and one-half times 
the duty imposed by this section on one pound of unwashed wool of the first 
class, and in addition thereto forty per centum ad valorem. 

As has been stated, this paragraph made a trifling change from the 
provisions of the corresponding paragraph of the act of 1897 (Xo. 
365). Under this former act the ad valorem part of the compound 
duty was 40 per cent on all the yarns whether valued at not more or 
at more than 30 cents per pound, and the specific part of the duty was 
exactly the same for each classification according to value. As the 
duty on unwashed wool of the first class was 11 cents per pound, the 
specific part of the duty as established was 27^ cents per pound on 
the yarns valued at not more than 30 cents per pound and 38-J cents 

98048— H. Rept. 45, 62-1 3

per pound on those valued at more than 30 cents per pound. The fol- 
lowing comparison shows clearly the change:

This petty change was made to do duty as one of the " reductions " 
of the act of 1909, but was realiy no reduction whatever, as has been 
stated in reviewing the few changes of the act of 1909. The duty 
on the cheaper yarns has been prohibitive under the act of 1897, 
and is just as much so under the act of 1909. As has been stated, 
on the $7.80 worth of imports (29J pounds) of the yarns valued 
at not more than 80 cents per pound in the fiscal year 1909, the 
ad valorem equivalent of the duty was 143.97 per cent. Of the 
same cheaper j^arns in the fiscal year 1908, the imports were 25 J 
pounds, worth $6.38, and the duties amounted to 149.06 per cent 
ad valorem. In the preceding fiscal year, 1907, the imports were 
Slf pounds, worth $21.80, and the duty amounted to 143.02 per cent 
ad valorem. In the year before that, the fiscal year 1906, the im- 
ports were 340 pounds,, worth $97.24, and the duty amounted to 
136.09 per cent ad valorem. There could be no mistaking the pro- 
hibitive effect of the duty on these cheap yarns, growing more so 
every year, and the revenue was practically nothing. There was, of 
course, no intent whatever to improve the situation in the act of 
1909, and the petty change made was a mere mockery. Under it 
the duty w r as even more prohibitive, if possible, than before. The 
imports for the fiscal year 1910 consisted of only 127 pounds, 
worth $28, and the duty amounted to 159.75 per cent ad valorem. 
The case of these cheap yarns illustrates how specific and compound 
duties prevent the consumers from getting the benefit of the reduc- 
tions of price when they do come (not too often) from changing 
market conditions or actual progress in the manufacturing art. In 
1906 the average import price of these cheap yarns was 28.6 cents per 
pound, and the duties paid amounted to 136.09 per cent ad valorem. 
In 1907 the average import price was 26.7 cents per pound, and the 
duties paid amounted to 143.02 per cent ad valorem. In 1908 the 
average import price was 25.3 cents per pound, and the duty was 149.06 
per cent ad valorem. In 1910 the average import price had declined to 
22 cents per pound, but the compound duty, notwithstanding a slight 
reduction in the ad valorem part of it, nevertheless, on account of the 
rigidity of the specific part, amounted to 159.75 per cent. As the 
price has declined the duty has grown steadily greater. 

As has been stated above in the comments on tops, the rate of 
duty provided on the more expensive yarns, those valued at more 
than 30 cents per pound, is substantially less than the rate on tops 
which are in a lower stage of manufacture and are the material for 
making worsted yarns. Practically all the imports of yarns con- 



WOOL AND MANUFACTUEES OF WOOL. 35 

sist of those valued at over 30 cents per pound. A comparison of 
the imports of these more expensive yarns shows the effect of 
specific and compound duties from another point of view, the same 
rate of duty becoming a decreasing duty as the price of the article 
advances in the same way that it becomes an increasing duty as the 
price of the article declines. In 1906 the average import price of 
these more expensive yarns was 80.6 cents per pound, and the duty 
amounted to 87.73 per cent ad valorem. In 1907 the average import 
price was 81.5 cents per pound, and the duty amounted to 87.25 per 
cent ad valorem. In 1909 the average import price was 82.3 cents 
per pound, and the duty was 86.77 per cent ad valorem. In 1910 the 
average import price was 90.8 cents per pound, and the duty (there 
had been no change whatever in the rate) was 82.38 per cent ad 
valorem. 

The compound duties on manufactures of wool, which are such 
an important characteristic of the present Schedule K, appear first 
in the duties on tops and then in those on yarns and all the other 
manufactures of wool throughout the schedule. The object of these 
compound duties is to provide a duty in two parts and for two 
especial purposes. The first purpose is to " compensate " the manu- 
facturers for the duties levied on the raw wools, the materials for 
all the manufactures. It is taken for granted that the manufac- 
turers have paid the amount of the duties on the raw wools entering 
into their manufactures, either on actual imports or in equivalent 
additional cost of domestic wools. The first purpose of the duty 
on the manufactured article is to " square " or " compensate " the 
manufacturers for the burden involved in the duties on their raw 
materials, and this is done by the first or specific part of the com- 
pound duty. As the duties on the raw wools are specific, the compen- 
satory duties must be specific also, and thus the evil and injustice of 
the specific duty is carried along into, and compounded and multi- 
plied in, every other article into which the article specifically taxed 
enters as a material. The specific duty breaks down entirely as a 
medium for carrying compensation. The use of it involves the neces- 
sity of a definite and fixed ratio between the burden or amount of 
the tax on the material when worked up into the finished or partly 
finished product. The constant and inevitable varieties, shades of dif- 
ference, and changing conditions among materials and methods of 
manufacture, make it impossible to establish any ratio which shall 
be fair and equitable in all cases and circumstances. 

The second purpose involved in the compound duties now levied 
on the manufactures of wool is to provide liberal protection for the 
manufacturers after compensating them fully for the burden of their 
taxes on their material. These protective parts of the duties are made 
ad valorem. It is in these parts of the duties that every other ine- 
quality and difference in cost of production beyond that of the raw 
material is to be given to the manufacturers, with liberal allowance 
for uncertainties, and including also " a reasonable profit " according 
to the new Republican doctrine. This new doctrine of protecting 
the profits of the favored few has, of course, no justification what- 
ever under the Constitution and our institutions in general, and it is 
certain that the people will not tolerate taxation that is openly and 
avowedly for the purpose of maintaining or increasing certain private 
profits. The general public, the consumers, are beyond the reach of 



36 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

protection for their profits, or even of compensation for taxes paid, 
under the Republican scheme. 

In the present schedule, the compensatory duty per pound on yarns 
valued at not more than 30 cents per pound is fixed arbitrarily at 
two and one-half times the duty on 1 pound of unwashed wool of the 
first class; on yarns valued at more than 30 cents per pound the 
compensatory duty per pound is arbitrarily fixed at three and one- 
half times the duty on one pound of unwashed wool of the first class. 
This discrimination is apparently based on the theory that 2-J pounds 
of unwashed wool are required to make 1 pound of cheap yarn and 
3J pounds of unwashed wool to make 1 pound of more expensive yarn. 

It is impossible to establish such rigid and arbitrary ratios with 
any approach to fairness, and the complete failure of these and other 
similar ratios in the present act is a demonstration of the impos- 
sibility of using specific duties fairly in the wool and woolen sched- 
ule. The amount of unwashed wool required to make 1 pound of 
scoured wool varies greatly between the heavy-shrinking and light- 
shrinking wools, as has been stated. The amount of scoured wool re- 
quired to make 1 pound of tops or 1 pound of yarn varies con- 
siderably in the worsted industry alone, according to the quality of 
the wool. The amount of scoured wool required to make 1 pound 
of yarn in woolen mills varies much more than in worsted mills, 
and this variation between woolen and worsted mills is greater than 
between different wools in the same sort of mill. Moreover, in any 
sort of mill it is not practicable to draw a hard and fast dividing 
line as to value, and provide, with fairness, that all yarns valued at 
not more than 30 cents per pound shall be supposed to have re- 
quired two and one-half times their weight in unwashed wool, and all 
yarns valued at more than 30 cents per pound (which may mean 
31 cents) shall be supposed to have required three and one-half times 
their weight in unwashed wool. A similar swarm of inequalities and 
injustices is involved in the ratios established for the compensatory 
duties on tops and for those on cloths and all other articles. In 
many cases these arbitrary ratios and dividing lines as to value have 
been deliberately established to secure special discriminations for 
specially favored beneficiaries. All the variations in these matters, 
however, are accurately reflected in the market value of the article 
in question, and a duty assessed according to value will affect every 
article in question and every changing condition fairly and equitably. 

In addition to, and beyond, the effect of the unfairness of the 
ratios, the compensatory duties conceal a great deal of unsuspected 
protection to the manufacturers. If it were really true that 1 pound 
of yarn valued at more than 30 cents required 3J pounds of unwashed 
wools in the making, this would only be true if the yarn were made 
entirely of wool, without the admixture of any other substance. The 
industrial fact is, however, that cotton and cotton yarn have been 
used to an enormous extent in recent years in the woolen and worsted 
industries, for mixing with woolen and worsted yarns, and the pro- 
duction of fabrics composed of a very large percentage of cotton as 
an adulterant. These cheapened and adulterated fabrics are made 
and sold in great quantities, being marketed to a great extent as 
woolen and worsted goods. The use of them has been practically 
forced on the people by the extremely high taxes maintained on wool 
and woolen goods for so many years by the Eepublican Party. For 
all the cotton used in these fabrics the manufacturers have been, and 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 37 

are being, compensated by the compensatory duties as if all the yarns 
and fabrics were made entirely of wool/ and are thus, under the 
existing* duties, receiving a substantial bonus and encouragement for 
turning out cotton-mixed and otherwise adulterated fabrics. 

It would be impossible to provide an arrangement of specific duties 
that could be effectively applied in any fair compensatory way to 
cotton mixed or otherwise adulterated woolen and worsted yarns and 
fabrics. It would, indeed, be extremely difficult to provide for analy- 
sis and the specific determination of wool contents in the great num- 
ber and complicated variety of mixed yarns and fabrics. All the 
countless variations, mixtures, and combinations, however, are ac- 
curately reflected in the market values of the articles in question. In 
the contest between buyers and sellers the article must stand on its 
real commercial value as actually determined by experts in the trade, 
whose business it is to know how the article is made. For these and 
other reasons the only fair and fitting way of levying duties, for com- 
pensatory as for other purposes, is by ad valorem rates. 

The bill H. R. 11019 provides, in paragraph 4, that all yarns made 
wholly or in part of wool shall be subject to the uniform rate of 30 
per cent ad valorem. As the rate provided for raw wool, whether un- 
washed, washed, scoured, or in any other condition, is 20 per cent, 
the manufacturers of yarns will have a margin in the rate on their 
products over the rate paid on the highest as well as the lowest con- 
dition of unmanufactured wool. They will have in this rate on 
yarns a margin above the rate provided for tops, whereas in the pres- 
ent act tops and their material are dutiable at a much higher rate 
than are the yarns usually imported. The rate provided for yarns is 
at a very fair and an entirely sufficient gradation above the rate on 
tops (at a lower stage of manufacture), and at a proportionate 
gradation below the rate (40 per cent) provided for cloths (at a much 
higher stage of manufacture and involving much more labor and 
expense in making from yarns than in making yarns from tops) . 

The rate provided for yarns is much less than one-half of the 
average ad valorem rate collected on the more expensive yarns im- 
ported in the fiscal year 1910, which average ad valorem was 82.38 
per cent. On the cheaper yarns, as has been stated, the ad valorem 
equivalent of the duties collected in 1910 was 159.75 per cent. As 
the average ad valorem rate in 1910 on unwashed wool of the first 
class was 47.24 per cent, there was a margin in acl valorem rates 
alone in 1910 of 35.14 per cent for the manufacturers of yarn. 

The rate on yarns in the act of 1894 was 35 or 40 per cent, ac- 
cording to value; in the Springer bill of 1892 the corresponding 
rate was 30 per cent ; in the Mills bill of 1888 the corresponding rate 
was 40 per cent ; and in all of these measures the raw material was free 
of duty. The moderate rate provided for in this bill is, therefore, a 
longer step toward competitive conditions than has been taken by 
any other Democratic tariff measure in recent times, and the same 
thing is true as to the rates provided for cloth, blankets, wearing 
apparel, and all the other manufactures of wool. 

The imports of woolen and worsted yarns for the fiscal year 
1910 amounted to $326,858.02 in value, and the duties collected 
were $269,296.16, the average ad valorem equivalent of the duty 
being 82.38 per cent, as stated. In the fiscal year 1909 the duties 



38 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

collected on yarns amounted to $213,745.41. On the basis of the 
imports of 1910 the rate of duty, 30 per cent, provided for in the 
bill H. E. 11019, would result in duties collected to the amount of 
$98,065.81. By a comparison of the imports of yarns in 1896 under 
the reduced duties of the act of 1894, with those in 1892 under the 
higher rates of the act of 1890, with a study of the percentages of 
imports to domestic consumption in 1892 and 1896, and the increase 
in such percentage that followed the reduction of duties, including 
consideration of present conditions in the industry, it is estimated 
that for the year 1912, under the 30 per cent rate, the imports of 
woolen and worsted yarns would be 1.60 per cent of the domestic 
consumption. In 1896 the corresponding percentage was 3.47 per 
cent, and in 1910, 0.48 of 1 per cent. From the census statistics it is 
estimated that the domestic consumption for the year 1912 will be 
in value about $85,871,000. The estimated imports for the year 1912 
are, then, $1,373,900, on which, at the rate provided, the duties would 
amount to $412,200. This amount is almost double that of the duties 
collected on yarns ip 3°99 and 1910 under the present largely pro- 
hibitive rates. 

CLOTHS, KNIT FABRICS, PELTS, AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL NOT 

SPECIALLY PROVIDED FOR. 

The bill, H. R. 11019, in paragraph 5, provides that " on cloths, 
knit fabrics, felts, not woven, and all manufactures of every descrip- 
tion, made by any process, wholty or in part of wool, not specially 
provided for in this act, the duty shall be forty per centum ad 
valorem." This paragraph takes the place of paragraph 378 of the 
act of 1909 (exactly the same in form and effect as the correspond- 
ing paragraph, No. 366, of the act of 1897), which reads: 

On cloths, knit fabrics, and all manufactures of every description made 
wholly or in part of wool, not specially provided for in this section, valued at 
not more than forty cents per pound, the duty per pound shall be three times 
the duty imposed by this section on a pound of unwashed wool of the first 
class; valued at above forty cents per pound and not above seventy cents per 
pound, the duty per pound shall be four times the duty imposed by this section 
on one pound of unwashed wool of the first class, and in addition thereto, 
upon all the foregoing, fifty per centum ad valorem; valued at over seventy 
cents per pound, the duty per pound shall be four times the duty imposed by 
this section on one pound of unwashed wool of the first class and fifty-five per 
centum ad valorem. 

The new paragraph (5) follows exactly the phraseology of the act 
of 1909, except that the phrase " felts not woven " is included in the 
new paragraph, and the single ad valorem rate of 40 per cent is ap- 
plied to all the articles included in the paragraph, in place of the 
compound duties in the present act, and hence the words dividing 
the articles into classes according to value are omitted. Felts not 
woven are taken out of the paragraph (No. 382 of the act of 1909) 
covering ready-made clothing, wearing apparel, etc., and included in 
the paragraph covering cloths, etc., because felts, which are simply 
cloths, have no resemblance whatever to the more highly finished 
articles of clothing and wearing apparel provided for in paragraph 
382 of the act of 1909 (and in paragraph 8 of the bill H. E. 11019). 
In the act of 1883, felts were not specially provided for and were 
dutiable as " manufactures of wool not specially provided for," at 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 



39 



rates varying according to value. The McKinley Act of 1890, during 
its passage through the House and Senate, contained no special pro- 
vision covering felts, and it was expected and desired by the con- 
sumers of felt that they should remain dutiable, as before, as manu- 
factures of wool not specially provided for. However, the confer- 
ence committee, going beyond the real scope of their authority, added 
" felts not woven " to the paragraph covering ready-made clothing, 
in order that felts might bear a higher rate of duty than otherwise, 
as this favor was desired by certain influential private interests. The 
act of 1894 retained felts not woven in the ready-made clothing para- 
graph and they have been there ever since. This small change in 
classification in the bill H. E. 11019 is in accord with the earlier and 
wiser precedent of the act of 1883. 

As has been stated, the act of 1909 made no change whatever from 
the act of 1897 in the rates or provisions governing the articles in the 
new paragraph 5. The following comparative statement shows at a 
glance the rates on the principal groups of articles covered by the 
paragraph, as established under the present law and the act of 1897, 
with the specific compensatory duties expressed in the actual figures 
meant :

As to all of these compensatory duties, the same criticisms apply as 
have been expressed above concerning tops and yarns. As in other 
similar cases, these specific compensatory duties on cloths, etc.. carry 
a concealed but heavy and unequally distributed protection beyond 
what would be actual compensation. They involve the supposition 
that 4 pounds of wool in the grease (unwashed wool) arc required 
to make 1 pound of cloth or other fabric mentioned, unless the cloth 



40 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

or other fabric (felts excepted) is valued at not over 40 cents per 
pound, in which case 3 pounds of unwashed wool are supposedly 
sufficient. This arbitrarily fixed and crudely classified ratio does not 
by any means conform to the actual facts, and such a fixed ratio of 
specific duties could not be made to conform to more than a small 
percentage of the actual conditions to which it is applied. The 
principal factor in the shrinkage of wools from the unwashed state 
to the finished cloth is the shrinkage in passing from the unwashed 
to the scoured state, which has been discussed above in the comments 
concerning unmanufactured wools. As has been stated, this shrink- 
age varies anywhere from 20 to 80 per cent, according to the quality 
of the wool in this respect. In working up the scoured wool into 
cloth there is a further shrinkage in which there is not generally so 
wide a range of variation as in the scouring of the wool, but never- 
theless a very considerable range of variation between different wools 
and fabrics in the same mill, and between different mills in the same 
line of work, and between woolen and worsted mills. The existing 
rates on scoured wools are based on the supposition that 3 pounds 
of unwashed wool are required to make 1 pound of scoured, and the 
compensatory duty on cloth on the supposition that an additional 
pound of unwashed wool, or one-third more of the scoured contents, 
is required in going on through the manufacture of 1 pound of cloth. 
This appears to be an excessive allowance for either woolen or 
worsted cloth in general. 

Moreover, the specific compensatory duty is on the supposition that 
the finished cloth is made entirely of wool. The fact is that a very 
large part of the woolen and worsted fabrics made in the United 
States to-day are composed of cotton to a very large extent, and to 
the extent to which they are thus mixed and adulterated with the 
cheaper material the compensatory duties have no reason or justifica- 
tion. There is involved in the existing specific compensatory duties 
a large bonus or encouragement for the adulteration and deteriora- 
tion of domestic woolen and worsted fabrics, and the Americans are 
suffering seriously to-day from the poor quality of their woolen 
clothing. This incentive to adulteration has been discussed above in 
the comments concerning yarns. 

The actual extent of the protection given by the present law on 
woolen and worsted cloths, cotton-mixed, through the heavy protec- 
tion concealed in the compensatory duties is illustrated in the follow- 
ing analysis of the compensatory duty in a typical fabric, which 
analysis was made from sample by one of the leading experts in 
manufactures of wool and used in the tariff debate in the Senate in 
1909 by Senator La Follette: 

The article is a cotton worsted (marked "A 220"); 14 ounces, 55 inches 
wide; 10,000 yards, at 50 cents, valued at $5,000, make 8,750 pounds of cloth, 
and would require in the making 3,125 pounds of grease (or unwashed) wool.

WOOL AXD MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 41 

The existing protective duties on woolen and worsted cloth involve 
an enormous burden on the American people, who are obliged to 
pay in the increased price of clothing many times the amount of 
money received by the Treasury in the duties^ An illustration of the 
extent of the burden is afforded by a study of a representative and 
typical article of comparatively cheap cloth, such as enters into ordi- 
nary suits of men's clothing worn by great masses of our people. 
The article in question is well known in the trade and is an all- 
worsted fancy fabric from half-blood wool, the fabric weighing 9£ 
ounces to the yard and 56 to 58 inches wide. The wholesale English 
price per yard is 77 cents and the freight to New York 1 cent. 
The specific compensatory duty is 44 cents per pound, or 23 cents per 
yard, the ad valorem duty 50 per cent, or 38 cents per yard in addi- 
tion, making the total duty 61 cents per yard, or 78 per cent of the 
import price. The price of the corresponding or competing American 
fabric is increased in price by the amount of the duty, as is known to 
be the case and would be inevitable. It requires 3^ yards of cloth 
to make a man's suit. Hence the tariff tax on one suit of this cloth 
amounts to 3^ times 61 cents per yard, or $2.14. A careful estimate 
of the cost of production of this and other similar American cloths 
indicates that it is divided about as follows: 

Per cent. 
Labor 25 

Materials 60 

Interest and depreciation 1$ 

All other charges 1\ 

The result of this estimate is in harmony with the result of census 
investigations already referred to. 

The present protection on the cloth above mentioned, equivalent to 
78 per cent, is, therefore, more than three times the entire labor cost 
and almost as much as the entire cost in labor and materials. 

There are at the present time over 92,000,000 persons in the United 
States. It is estimated that one-fifth of the number are heads of 
families, or men. All of these must wear suits of clothes made of 
cloth very much like the article above mentioned. Here are 18,400,000 
such suits used. There are fully as many adult women who wear 
clothing involving as much, probably more, woolen or worsted cloth 
of about the same character. This makes 18,400,000 additional suits, 
or a total of 36,800,000, which is equivalent to 128,800,000 yards of 
such cloth annually consumed by adults, if we estimate that only the 
equivalent of one suit each a year is bought — a very low estimate. It 
is also a low estimate that one-fifth of this amount of cloth has to be 
used for clothing for nonadults, making a total consumed each year of 
not less than 171,200,000 yards. The tariff tax of 61 cents per yard 
means, therefore, to say nothing of any increase in tax as it passes 
down through the hands of the manufacturer, jobber, and retailer, 
not less than $104,400,000, or, say, $100,000,000 per year paid by the 
people. The entire amount of duties paid to the Treasury in the fiscal 
year 1910, on all the imports of woolen and worsted cloths, amounted 
to a little less than $6,000,000 ($5,937,753.72), and on women's and 
children's dress goods, etc., a little less than $9,500,000 ($9,48 1 ,206.75 ) . 
or a total on these articles of less than $15,500,000. 

The rate provided for on the cloths, etc., is a fair and suitable 
gradation, equitably and proportionately arranged with reference to 
the gradations between the rates on wool, tops, and yarns. It is 



42 WOOL AND MANUFACTUEES OF WOOL. 

apparent that there is almost twice as much labor and expense in- 
volved in making yarns into cloth as in making tops into yarns, 
and the gradations of rates of duty are arranged accordingly. The 
net result of the rate provided for on cloths, etc., is the establish- 
ment of a more competitive situation for the manufactured cloth and 
other articles than was the case under the act of 1894, when the rates 
of duty ranged from 25 to 50 per cent on the articles included in the 
group under consideration, being from 35 to 40 per cent on cloths, 
with no duty on wool. The rates proposed in the Springer bill of 
1892 and in the Mills bill of 1888 were 40 per cent on cloths, etc., 
with no duty on wool. 

For the fiscal year 1910 the imports of all the articles included 
under the provisions of paragraph 5 of the bill H. R. 11019 amounted 
to $6,658,288.07, and the duties collected thereon amounted to $6,465,- 
884.31. The average unit of value of the articles imported was 
$1.04 per pound, and the average ad valorem equivalent of the 
duties collected was 97.11 per cent. By far the largest part of 
the imports in this group are those of woolen and worsted cloths; 
the imports for the fiscal year 1910 were in value $6,104,140, the 
average value per pound being $1.03, and the duties collected thereon 
amounted to $5,937,753.72, the average ad valorem equivalent of 
the duties being 97.27 per cent. For the preceding fiscal year, 
1909, the -imports of woolen and worsted cloths amounted in value 
to $4,777,447.26, the average unit of value being $1.07 per pound, and 
the duties collected thereon amounted to $4,585,899.43, the average 
ad valorem equivalent of the duties being 95.99 per cent. 

On the basis of the imports of 1910, the revenue from the articles in 
the group here considered (under paragraph 5), at the 40 per cent ad 
valorem duty, would be $2,663,315.23. But through a comparison of 
the imports of 1896 under reduced duties with those in 1892 under 
high duties, with a study of the percentages of imports to domestic 
consumption in those years, and the changes in such percentages fol- 
lowing reduced duties, with consideration of present industrial con- 
ditions, it is estimated that for the year 1912, under the 40 per cent 
rate, the imports would be 10.89 per cent of the domestic production 
for cloths, including plushes and other pile fabrics, 2.41 per cent for 
felts, and 0.49 of 1 per cent for knit fabrics. From the domestic con- 
sumption of these various groups of articles for 1912, estimated from 
the census statistics, and from the estimated percentages above men- 
tioned, estimate is made of the probable imports of 1912. As articles 
included in the group " all other manufactures of wool not specially 
provided for " can not be identified, the domestic consumption or 
percentage of imports thereto can not be historically compared, but 
it is estimated that such percentages if ascertained would be about in 
proportion to like percentages of imports to domestic consumption of 
wearing apparel, ready-made clothing, etc., as a somewhat similar 
group of miscellaneous articles, and on this assumption the probable 
imports in 1912 of the " manufactures not specially provided for " are 
estimated at $650,000, and hence the duties therefrom at $260,000. 

The total of the estimated imports for 1912 of all the articles in- 
cluded under paragraph 5 is $24,062,400, and the total duties there- 
from would be $9,624,900. This amount would be an increase of 
about 50 per cent over the revenue obtained from the same articles 
in the fiscal year 1910.

BLANKETS AND FLANNELS. 

Paragraph 6 of the bill H. E. 11019 provides that— 

on blankets and flannels, composed wholly or in part of wool, the duty shall be 
thirty per centum ad valorem : Provided, That on flannels composed wholly or 
in part of wool, valued at above fifty cents per pound, the duty shall be forty- 
five per centum ad valorem. 

This paragraph takes the place of paragraph 379 of the act of 1909 
(exactly the same as the corresponding paragraph, No. 367, of the 
act of 1897), which reads: 

On blankets, and flannels for underwear composed wholly or in part of wool, 
valued at not more than forty cents per pound, the duty per pound shall be the 
same as the duty imposed by this section on two pounds of unwashed wool of 
the first class, and in addition thereto thirty per centum ad valorem; valued at 
more than forty cents and not more than fifty cents per pound, the duty per 
pound shall be three times the duty imposed by this section on one pound of 
unwashed wool of the first class, and in addition thereto thirty-five per centum 
ad valorem. On blankets composed wholly or in part of wool, valued at more 
than fifty cents per pound, the duty per pound shall be three times the duty 
imposed by this section on one pound of unwashed wool of the first class, aud in 
addition thereto forty per centum ad valorem. Flannels composed wholly or in 
part of wool, valued at above fifty cents per pound, shall be classified and pay 
the same duty as women's and children's dress goods, coat linings, Italian 
cloths, and goods of similar character and description provided by this section : 
Provided, That on blankets over three yards in length the same duties shall be 
paid as on cloths. 

The following comparative statement shows at a glance the rates 
on blankets and flannels in each of their various classifications as 
established under the present law and the act of 1897, with the 
specific compensatory duties translated into the actual figures in- 
tended and provided for:

44 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

The new paragraph (6) follows the phraseology of the acts of 1909 
and 1897, with very slight changes. As in the new paragraph only 
one ad valorem rate of duty is applied to all blankets and only two 
different ad valorem rates to all flannels, all the words in the pres- 
ent act are omitted which relate only to the compound duties and 
various classifications which are abolished. The words " for under- 
wear " are also omitted after the word " flannels," in the first line of 
the paragraph, in order that the provisions of the new paragraph may 
apply clearly and unmistakably to all flannels for whatever purpose 
used. The new paragraph is a condensation and simplification of 
the former one, without changing the descriptive phrases in any way 
except as above noted, and these changes have the effect of including 
all blankets under the rates provided for in the new paragraph. The 
proviso in paragraph 379 of the present act, " that on blankets 
over 3 yards in length the same duties shall be paid as on cloths," 
has the effect of making such blankets dutiable under paragraph 378 
of the present Schedule K, instead of under the paragraph covering 
blankets and flannels. This proviso is omitted in the new paragraph 
(6), so that all blankets of wool shall be dutiable under this para- 
graph. Similarly, the sentence in paragraph 378 of the present Sched- 
ule K, making flannels valued at above 50 cents per pound dutiable 
at the same rates as women's and children's dress goods, and so forth, 
is amended so that flannels of this higher rate shall pay an explicitly 
stated rate, under the paragraph on blankets and flannels. 

It is generally most desirable to make no separate classifications as 
to value with different rates of duty among articles of the same kind 
or sort, but an exception to this wise rule, which is otherwise fol- 
lowed throughout the bill H. R. 11019, is made in the case of the 
more expensive flannels, which really, in general, constitute a prac- 
tically different sort of fabric than the cheaper flannels and are to 
a great extent used for different purposes, although called by the 
same name. By far the largest part of the imports of flannels in 
recent years are of these more expensive fabrics, which go into ar- 
ticles of clothing used principally by the well-to-do classes. In the 
fiscal year 1910, 89.44 per cent of all the imports of flannels were 
of those valued at above 50 cents per pound. It is the intent of 
the new paragraph (6) to reduce as far as possible the tax burden on 
the cheaper flannels used or desired by the persons of small means, 
and at the same time to encourage the greater importation of these 
cheaper flannels for the sake of greater revenue; also to impose a 
good but not unfair revenue rate on the more expensive flannels used 
largely by the wealthy and which are now almost the only flannel? 
being imported. 

The present specific and compensatory duties on blankets and flan- 
nels are unequal and unfair and encourage the deterioration of fab- 
rics in the same way as do similar duties on yarns and cloths, and in 
the comments above concerning yarns and cloths these abuses have 
been discussed. 

For the year ending June 30, 1910, the imports of all the arti- 
cles included under the provisions of paragraph 6 amounted to 
$168,889.82, and the duties collected thereon amounted to $161,412.70, 
the average ad valorem equivalent of the duties being 95.57 per cent. 
Of these imports, the blankets amounted to $145,995.47 in value, the 
average unit of value being $1.07 per pound, and the duties collected 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 45 

thereon amounted to $33,767.77, the average ad valorem equivalent of 
the duties being 73.42 per cent. The total imports of all flannels 
amounted to $122,894.35 in value, and the duties collected thereon 
amounted to $127,644.93, the average ad valorem equivalent of the 
duties being 103.87 per cent. As has been stated, 89.44 per cent of 
these imported flannels were of the class valued at above 50 cents per 
pound. The average unit of value of these more expensive flannels 
ranged from 61.4 to 87.2 cents per pound, and the ad valorem 
equivalent of the duties thereon ranged from 105.44 to 121.62 per 
cent. Of the cheaper flannels, of which the imports have been com- 
paratively small, the unit of value, in the imports of 1910, ranged 
from 36 to 45 cents per pound, and the ad valorem equivalent of the 
duties thereon from 91 to 108 per cent. 

The loAver duties provided for in paragraph 6 constitute a reduc- 
tion of more than half of the present rate on the more expensive flan- 
nels (105.44 per cent ad valorem on the great bulk of the importations 
of 1910) and of about two-thirds of the present rate on the cheaper 
flannels (108 per cent on most of the imports of 1910). On the basis 
of the imports of 1910 the lower rates would result in duties to the 
amount of $67,155.25. However, a comparison of the imports in prior 
years under both high and low rates, and of the ratios of the imports 
to domestic consumption in the respective years, in the manner already 
described with reference to articles in preceding paragraphs, indicates 
that the probable imports of all blankets in 1912 under the proposed 
lower duties would amount to $95,900, or about 1 per cent of the 
estimated domestic consumption; also that the probable imports of 
all flannels would be $162,500, or about 4r| per cent of the domestic 
consumption. The total of the estimated imports is $258,400, and at 
the new rates provided for, the total duties on these imports of 
blankets and flannels would amount to $101,700, or about two-thirds 
of the amount of revenue collected on this group of articles in the 
fiscal year. 

DRESS GOODS, COAT LININGS, ITALIAN CLOTHS, AND SIMILAR ARTICLES. 

Paragraph 7 of the bill H. R. 11019 provides that — 

on women's and children's dress goods, coat linings, Italian cloths, bunting, and 
goods of similar description and character, composed wholly or in part of wool,, 
and not specially provided for in this act, the duty shall be forty-five per 
centum ad valorem. 

This paragraph takes the place of paragraphs 380 and 381 of the 
act of 1909. These paragraphs made no change whatever from the act 
of 1897 in the specific part of the compound duties, but only as to the 
articles included " when weighing over 4 ounces per square yard," 
provided that the ad valorem duty (imposed in addition to the spe- 
cific duty) should be 50 per cent less 5 per cent, instead of 50 per cent, 
as established in the act of 1897, as has been stated. This trifling 
change effected no actual reduction of duty. The scope of the change 
and its effect on the ad valorem rate on actual imports are stated 
above in this report in reviewing the few changes made by the act of 
1909 (on page 6). 

Paragraphs 380 and 381 of the act of 1909 are as follows : 

380. On women's and children's dress goods, coat liniugs, Italian cloths, and 
goods of similar description and character of which the warp consists wholly 
of cotton or other vegetable material with the remainder of the fabric com-

posed wholly or in part of wool, valued at not exceeding fifteen cents per square 
yard, the duty shall be seven cents per square yard; valued at more than fif- 
teen cents per square yard, the duty shall be eight cents per square yard; and 
in addition thereto on all the foregoing valued at not above seventy cents per 
pound, fifty per centum ad valorem ; valued above seventy cents per pound, 
fifty-five per centum ad valorem : Provided, That on all the foregoing, weighing 
over four ounces per square yard, the rates of duty shall be five per centum 
less than those imposed by this schedule on cloths. 

381. On women's and children's dress goods, coat linings, Italian cloths, 
bunting, and goods of similar description or character composed wholly or in 
part of wool, and not specially provided for in this section, the duty shall be 
eleven cents per square yard ; and in addition thereto on all the foregoing valued 
at not above seventy cents per pound, fifty per centum ad valorem ; valued above 
seventy cents per pound, fifty-five per centum ad valorem: Provided, That on 
all the foregoing, weighing over four ounces per square yard, the duty shall be 
the same as imposed by this schedule on cloths. 

The following comparative statement shows the rates on dress 
goods in each of the various classifications, as established under the 
present law and the act of 1897, with the specific compensatory duty

Paragraph 7 of the bill follows the phraseology of the acts of 1909 
and 1897 with very slight changes. In the new paragraph only one 
ad valorem rate of duty is applied to all classes of dress goods, coat 
linings, Italian cloths, buntings, and goods of similar description. 
All the words in the present act are omitted which relate only to 
the compound duties and various classifications which are abolished. 
The new paragraph is a condensation and simplification of the 
former one without changing the descriptive phrases in any way 
except as noted. The present specific and compensatory duties on 
dress goods and similar articles are unequal and unfair and en- 
courage the deterioration of fabrics in the same way as do similar 
duties on yarns and cloths, and in the comments above concerning 
yarns and cloths these abuses have been discussed. 

For the year ending June 30, 1910, the imports of all the articles 
included under the provisions of paragraph 7 amounted to $9,218,- 
374.10 and the duties collected thereon amounted to $9,481,206.75, 
the average ad valorem equivalent of the duties being 102.85 per 
cent. Of these imports the average unit of value ranged from 13 
to 22 cents per square yard, or from 31 to 94 cents per pound, according 
to class of goods, and the ad valorem equivalent from 65.10 to 154.35 
per cent. As to many of the articles in this group, the imports have 
been very small, and in these the unit of value in the imports of 1910 
ranged from 13 to 18 cents per square yard, or from 32 to 63 cents 
per pound, according to class, and the ad valorem equivalent of the 
duties thereon ranged from 103.73 to 154.35 per cent. The principal 
imports of the articles in this group are of those valued at over 70 
cents per pound. These more expensive goods comprised over 75 
per cent of the imports of dress goods, etc., in 1910. The}^ were 
principally in three lots, of which the average unit of value was 20 
cents per square j r ard, 22 cents per square yard, and 94 cents per 
pound, respectively; and the average ad valorem equivalent of the 
duty was 94.49, 104.69, and 101.88 per cent, respectively. Of the 
principal imports of the cheaper goods the average unit of value was 
13 cents per square yard, and the average ad valorem equivalent of 
the duty was 103.73 per cent. 

The lower duty provided for in paragraph 7 constitutes a reduction 
of more than one-half of the present rate on the articles in this 
group and a little more in proportion on the cheaper goods. In the 
imports of 1910 the average ad valorem rate on the cheaper goods 
was about 103.73 per cent and on the more expensive goods 102.01 
per cent. On the basis of the imports of 1910 the lower rate would 
result in duties to the amount of $4,148,268.35. However, a com- 
parison of the imports in prior years under both high and low- 
rates, and of the ratio of the imports to domestic consumption in 
the respective years, in the manner already described with refer- 
ence to articles in preceding paragraphs, indicates that the probable 
imports of all dress goods, etc., in 1912 under the proposed lower 
duties would amount to $25,408,500, or about 21 per cent of the esti- 
mated domestic consumption. At the new rate provided for, the total 
duties on these imports would amount to $11,433,900, or an increase 
of about two-tenths over the amount of revenue collected on this 
group of articles in the fiscal year 1910. 



43 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

WEARING APPAREL. 

Paragraph 8 of the bill H. R. 11019 provides that — 

on clothing, ready-made, and articles of wearing apparel of every description, 
including shawls whether knitted or woven, and knitted articles of every de- 
scription made up or manufactured wholly or in part, and not specially provided 
for in this act, composed wholly or in part of wool, the duty shall be forty-five 
per centum ad valorem. 

This paragraph takes the place of paragraph 382 of the act of 
1909 (exactly the same as the corresponding paragraph, No. 370, of 
the act of 1897), which reads: 

382. On clothing, ready-made, and articles of wearing apparel of every de- 
scription, including shawls whether knitted or woven, and knitted articles of 
every description made up or manufactured wholly or in part, felts not woven, 
and not specially provided for in this section, composed wholly or in part of 
wool, the duty per pound shall be four times the duty imposed by this section 
on one pound of unwashed wool of the first class, and in addition thereto sixty 
per centum ad valorem. 

With the specific compensatory duty translated into the actual 
figures intended and provided for, the rate on the articles under this 
paragraph of the present act and under the act of 1897 is 44 cents 
per pound and 60 per cent. The new paragraph 8 follows the 
phraseology of the acts of 1909 and 1897, with very slight changes. 
Only one ad valorem rate of duty is applied to all the articles under 
this paragraph. All the words in the present act are omitted which 
provide for a specific in addition to an ad valorem duty. Felts not 
woven have been transferred from this paragraph to paragraph 5 
for the reasons already stated in the comments concerning that 
paragraph. 

The present specific and compensatory duty on clothing, ready- 
made, and articles of wearing apparel of every description is unequal 
and has encouraged the deterioration of articles in the same general 
way as has been the case with yarns, cloths, and other articles already 
discussed. 

For the year ending June 30, 1910, the imports of all the articles in- 
cluded under the provisions of paragraph 8 amounted to $1,776,236.34 
and the duties collected thereon to $1,444,296.87. The average unit 
of value was $2.06 per pound, and the average ad valorem equivalent 
of the duties was 81.31 per cent. The average unit of value of these 
articles ranged from $1.21 to $8.52 per pound, and the ad valorem 
equivalent of the duties thereon ranged from 65.16 to 96.40 per cent. 
As to the articles of which the imports have been very small, the unit 
of value in the imports of 1910 ranged from $1.21 to $1.74 per pound, 
and the ad valorem equivalent of the duties thereon from 68.27 to 
96.40 per cent. In the imports of 1910, the " clothing, ready-made, 
and articles of wearing apparel, made up or manufactured wholly or 
in part," were 76.17 per cent of all the imports under the paragraph. 
These were the most expensive articles, as well as the largest group, 
of all those imported in considerable quantities ; the average unit of 
value was $2.58 per pound, and the average ad valorem rate of duty 
was 77.09 per cent. 

The lower duty provided for in paragraph 8 constitutes a reduc- 
tion of about two-fifths of the present rate on the more expensive 
grades of articles (77.09 per cent ad valorem on the great bulk of 
the importations of 1910), and of over one-half of the present rate on 
the cheaper grades of articles (95.56 per cent on most of the imports 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 49 

of 1910). On the basis of the imports of 1910, the lower rate would 
result in duties to the amount of $799,306.35. However, a compari- 
son of the imports in prior years under both high and low rates and of 
the ratios of the imports to domestic consumption in the respective 
years, in the manner already described with reference to articles in 
preceding paragraphs, indicates that the probable imports of all 
clothing, ready-made, and wearing apparel of every description in 
1912, under the proposed lower duty, would amount to $5,066,400, 
or about 0.49 of 1 per cent of the estimated domestic consumption ; 
and at the new rate of duty provided for, the total duties collected on 
these imports would amount to $2,279,900, or an increase of about six- 
tenths over the revenue collected on this group of articles in the 
fiscal year 1910. 

WEBBINGS, GORINGS, SUSPENDERS, ETC. 

Paragraph 9 of the bill H. E. 11019 provides that — 

on webbings, gorings, suspenders, braces, bandings, beltings, bindings, braids, 
galloons, edgings, insertings, flonncings, fringes, gimps, cords, cords and tassels, 
ribbons orrmnients, laces, trimmings, and articles made wholly or in part of 
lace, embroideries and all articles embroidered by hand or machinery, head 
nets, nettings, buttons or barrel buttons, or buttons of other forms for tassels 
or ornaments, and manufactures of wool ornamented with beads or spangles of 
whatever material composed, on any of the foregoing made of wool or of which 
wool is a component material, whether containing india rubber or not, the duty 
shall be thirty-five per centum ad valorem. 

This paragraph takes the place of paragraph 383 of the act of 
1909, which is the same as the corresponding paragraph, No. 371, 
of the act of 1897, except the act of 1909, in paragraph 383, ex- 
plicitly includes ribbons and ornaments among the webbings, gor- 
ings, suspenders, braces, braids, trimmings, and the long list of simi- 
lar articles made of wool or of which wool is a component material, 
and covered by this paragraph. In the act of 1897 ribbons and orna- 
ments were not specified in Schedule K and were dutiable under para- 
graph 366 of that act as " manufactures made wholly or in part of 
wool and not specially provided for," at the rate of 33 cents per 
pound and 50 per cent ad valorem. As has been stated, the effect of 
changing the classification of these articles in the act of 1909 was to 
make them dutiable, under paragraph 383, at the rate of 50 cents per 
pound and 60 per cent, and this was a substantial revision upward. 
The imports of these ribbons and ornaments are not separately 
reported. Paragraph 383 of the act of 1909 is as follows: 

383. Webbings, gorings, suspenders, braces, bandings, beltings, bindings, braids, 
galloons, edgings, insertings, flonncings, fringes, gimps, cords, cords and tassels, 
ribbons, ornaments, laces, trimmings, and articles made wholly or in part of 
lace, embroideries and all articles embroidered by hand or machinery, head 
nets, nettings, buttons or barrel buttons or buttons of other forms for tassels 
or ornaments, and manufactures of wool ornamented with beads or spangles of 
whatever material composed, any of the foregoing made of wool or of whicb 
wool is a component material, whether containing india rubber or not, fifty 
cents per pound and sixty per centum ad valorem. 

The new paragraph 9 follows the phraseology of the acts of 1909 
and 1897 with the slight change involved in the application of a 
purely ad valorem rate of duty — that is, the omission of the words 
which carry the specific part of the present compound duty. 

For the year ending June 30, 1910, the imports of all the articles 
included under the provisions of paragraph 9 were $77,161.70, and 

98048— H. Ropt. 45, 62-1 4* 



50 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

the corresponding duties, $67,174.54. The average unit of value per 
pound_was $1.85, and the average ad valorem equivalent of the duty 
was 87.06 per cent. 

The lower duty provided for in paragraph 9 constitutes a reduction 
of over one-half of the present rate on these articles (87.06 per cent 
ad valorem on the importations of 1910). On the basis of the im- 
ports of 1910, the duties would be $27,006.60 under the lower rate. 
A comparison of the imports in prior years under both high and low 
rates, and of the ratios of the imports to domestic consumption in the 
respective years, in the manner already described with reference to 
articles under preceding paragraphs, indicates that the probable im- 
ports in 1912, under the proposed lower duty, of all the articles 
included in the provisions of this paragraph, would be $160,900, or 
about 0.20 of 1 per cent of the estimated domestic consumption of 
" rubber and elastic goods," which is the only classification under the 
census with which the " webbings, gorings, suspenders, etc.," can be 
compared. At the new rate, the total amount of duties on the esti- 
mated imports would be $56,300, or about four-fifths of the amount 
of revenue collected on this group of articles in the fiscal year 1910. 

CARPETS AND CARPETING. 

Paragraphs 10 to 20, both inclusive, of the bill H. E. 11019 are as 
follows : 

10. On Aubusson, Axininster, nioquette, and chenille carpets, figured or plain, 
and all carpets or carpeting of like character or description, the duty shall 
be forty per centum ad valorem. 

11. On Saxony, Wilton, and Tournay velvet carpets, figured or plain, and all 
carpets or carpeting of like character or description, the duty shall be thirty- 
five per centum ad valorem. 

12. On Brussels carpets, figured or plain, and all carpets or carpeting of like 
character or description, the duty shall be thirty per centum ad valorem. 

13. On velvet and tapestry velvet carpets, figured or plain, printed on the 
warp or otherwise, and all carpets or carpeting of like character or description, 
the duty shall be thirty-five per centum ad valorem. 

14. On tapestry Brussels carpets, figured or plain, and all carpets or carpeting 
of like character or description, printed on the warp or otherwise, the duty 
shall be thirty per centum ad valorem. 

15. On treble ingrain, three-ply, and all-chain Venetian carpets, the duty shall 
be thirty per centum ad. valorem. 

16. On wool Dutch and two-ply ingrain carpets, the duty shall be twenty-five 
per centum ad valorem. 

17. On carpets of every description, woven whole for rooms, and Oriental, 
Berlin, Aubusson, Axminster, and similar rugs, the duty shall be fifty per 
centum ad valorem. 

18. On druggets and bockings, printed, colored, or otherwise, the duty shall 
be twenty-five per centum ad valorem. 

19. On carpets and carpeting of wool, flax, or cotton, or composed in part of 
any of them, not specially provided for in this act, and on mats, matting, and 
rugs of cotton the duty shall be twenty-five per centum ad valorem. 

20. Mats, rugs for floors, screens, covers, hassocks, bed sides, art squares, 
and other portions of carpets or carpeting, made wholly or in part of wool, and 
not specially provided for in this act, shall be subjected to the rate of duty 
herein imposed on carpets or carpeting of like character or description. 

These paragraphs take the place of paragraphs 384 to 394, both in- 
clusive, of the act of 1909, which are the same as the corresponding 
paragraphs, 372 to 382, both inclusive, of the act of 1897, with the 
exception that the act of 1909, in paragraph 393, explicitly in- 
cludes " mats, matting, and rugs of cotton," with " carpets and car- 
peting of wool, flax, or cotton, or composed in part of any of them, 
not specially provided for." The mats, matting, and rugs of cotton 
were not specified in the act of 1897, and were dutiable under para- 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 



51 



graph 322, Schedule I, of that act as "manufactures of cotton not 
specially provided for," at the rate of 45 per cent ad valorem. The 
effect of the change in classification of these mats, matting, and rugs 
in the act of 1909 was to make them dutiable at the higher rate of 
50 per cent ad valorem, which was another revision upward. 

The following comparative statement shows the rates on each class 
of carpets and carpeting under the act of 1897 and the present act, 
with the specific compensatory duties translated into the actual fig- 
ures meant, and also shows the rates under the bill H. R. 11019 :

The paragraphs of the bill H. R. 11019 dealing with carpets and 
carpeting (10 to 20, both inclusive) follow the phraseology of the 
acts of 1897 and 1909. The only changes in the new paragraphs are 
those necessarily involved in substituting for the present compound 
duties the new purely ad valorem duties at reduced rates. As an 



52 WOOL AND MANUFACTUEES OF WOOL. 

incident of the change to purely ad valorem duties, the proviso in 
paragraph 391 of the act of 1909 (corresponding to paragraph IT of 
the bill H. R. 11019) is omitted. This proviso reads: 

Provided, That in the measurement of all mats, rugs, carpets, and similar 
articles, of whatever material composed, the selvage, if any, shall be included. 

This proviso is omitted, of course, because all specific duties, based 
on measurement or otherwise, are eliminated in the bill H. R. 11019. 

On nearly all of the classes of carpets and carpeting the duties are 
reduced in the bill H. R. 11019 by more than half. The reduction 
is greater on the cheaper grades. The cheapest grades imported are 
the " wool Dutch and two-ply ingrain carpets," of which the average 
unit of value in the imports of 1910 was 80 cents per square yard. On 
these the average ad valorem rate of the duties collected in 1910 was 
62.50 per cent; the new rate provided for in the bill is 25 per cent, a 
reduction of considerably more than one-half. Only a very small 
quantity of carpets of this grade have been imported in recent years, 
and the domestic production has fallen off, through change of style. 
Likewise the domestic production of treble-ingrain, three-ply, and 
all-chain Venetian carpets has also declined for the same reason, and 
of this class the imports are inconsiderable. The average unit of value 
was 90.4 cents per square yard in 1910, and the duty collected was 
equivalent to 64.34 per cent; the new duty is 30 per cent, graded a 
little higher than the rate on the two-ply ingrain carpets, as the 
treble ingrain are a little more costly. On druggets and bookings, 
as the average unit of value is low (83.7 cents per square yard 
in 1910 and 78.6 cents in 1909), the new rate of duty is fixed at 25 
per cent; it was 62.28 per cent in ad valorem equivalent on the 
imports of 1910. Of these articles, the imports are a fairly consid- 
erable quantity ($30,587 in value in the fiscal year 1910), constituting 
one of the considerable classes of " carpets and carpeting " in the 
imports, after the class which is by far the largest, carpets woven 
whole for rooms, oriental rugs, etc. 

Another of the minor but considerable classes of carpets and car- 
peting imported consists of (paragraph 19) — 

carpets and carpeting of wool, flax, or cotton, or composed in part of any of 
them, not specially provided for in this act, and mats, matting, and rugs of 
cotton. 

Of these, the imports in 1910 were $7,713 worth of mats, matting, 
and rugs of cotton, and $41,822.25 worth of the remainder of the 
articles in the group, a total of $49,535.25. Of these, the imports of 
mats, matting, and rugs of cotton, although dutiable under Schedule 
K, are reported under manufactures of cotton. The rate of duty on 
these articles at present is 50 per cent. On the group covered by 
paragraph 19 the bill H. R. 11019 makes the rate of duty 25 per 
cent, a reduction of one-half of the present rate. 

Of Brussels carpets (paragraph 12 of H. R. 11019) only $8,222 
worth were imported in 1910. The domestic production of this class 
of carpets has increased very little in the 10 j^ears from 1900 to 1910. 
The average unit of value in the imports of 1910 was $1.21 per square 
yard, and the average ad valorem rate of duty was 76.29 per cent. 
The new rate is 30 per cent, a reduction of considerably more than 
one-half. The imports of tapestry Brussels carpets are insignificant, 
only $83 worth in 1909 and $187 worth in 1910, the average unit of 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 53 

value in the 1910 imports being $1.15 per square yard and the 
average ad valorem rate of the duty 64.41 per cent. The rate pro- 
vided for in the bill H. R. 11019 (paragraph 14) is 30 per cent, which 
is a reduction of more than one-half. 

Another of the considerable, but minor, groups of the imports of 
carpets and carpeting consists of the " Saxony, Wilton, and Tournay 
velvet carpets " (paragraph 11). Of these, the imports in 1910 were 
$40,711 in value, the average unit of value $1.99 per square yard and 
the average ad valorem rate of duty 70.14 per cent. The new rate is 
35 per cent, graded a little higher because the average unit of value 
is higher, and the reduction is one-half of the present rate. Another 
of the small but important groups consists of the " velvet and tap- 
estry velvet " carpets (paragraph 13) . The imports in 1910 amounted 
to $41,058 in value, the average unit of value being $1.78 per square 
yard and the average ad valorem rate of duty 62.46 per cent. The 
rate of duty provided for in the bill H. R. 11019 is 35 per cent, also 
graded a little higher than most of the rates on carpets and carpeting 
because the average unit of value is higher. The reduction is not 
quite one-half of the present rate. 

The most important of the minor groups consists of the "Aubusson, 
Axminster, moquette, and chenille carpets" (paragraph 10). Of 
these, the imports in the fiscal year 1910 were, in value, $62,700, hav- 
ing increased from $47,221 in 1909 ; the average unit of value in 1910 
was $2.71 per square yard, having increased from $2.23 in 1909, and 
the average ad valorem rate of the existing compound duty was 62.09 
per cent in 1910, having decreased from 66.80 per cent in 1909. The 
rate provided for in the bill H. R. 11019 is 40 per cent, which is 
graded higher than most of the other rates on carpets and carpeting 
because of the higher value of the articles. 

However, the great bulk of the imports of carpets and carpeting 
are of the class included under the provisions of paragraph 17 of 
the bill H. R. 11019, namely, " carpets of every description, woven 
whole for rooms, and Oriental, Berlin, Aubusson, Axminster, and 
similar rugs." These made up about 95 per cent of the total imports 
of carpets and carpeting both in 1910 and in 1909, and they are by far 
the most expensive of all the articles of carpets and carpeting im- 
ported, the average unit of value being $4.37 per square yard in 
1910 and $4.18 in 1909. They are articles of comparative luxury, 
used by well-to-do people. Under the present Schedule K the aver- 
age ad valorem rate of duty on these articles was 60.57 in the imports 
of 1910 and 61.52 per cent in 1909. This is considerably lower than 
the rates on the cheap carpets, and lower, in fact, than on any other 
kind of carpet or carpeting of which any considerable quantity is 
imported. It is in marked contrast with the extremely high rates all 
through the present Schedule K on cheap articles of necessity to the 
masses, such as 136 per cent on cheap blankets, 144 per cent on cheap 
cloths, 154 per cent on cheap dress goods for women, 131 per cent 
on the cheapest knit fabrics, etc. It is the intent of the bill H. R. 
11019 to reduce the tax burdens as far as possible on the cheaper 
articles used by the masses of the people and to provide for effective 
but fair and moderate rates on articles producing a good revenue and 
used more especially by the wealthy. For this reason — as a con- 
siderable amount of revenue is needed from the imports of these 
carpets woven whole for rooms, Oriental rugs, etc. — the rate of 50

per cent is provided for in paragraph 17. This is a material reduc- 
tion from the present rate, but much less in proportion than the 
reductions on the cheaper articles heretofore mentioned. 

For the year ending June 30, 1910, the total imports of all classes 
of carpets and carpeting, such as are provided for in paragraphs 
10 to 20, both inclusive, of the bill H. E. 11019, amounted to 
$4,627,483.68, and the duties collected thereon amounted to $2,- 
806,368.52. As has been shown, the unit of value of the various arti- 
cles ranged from 80 cents to $4.37 per square yard. The average 
unit of value of all the great variety of articles in this class was 
$4.04 per square yard, as the great bulk of the imports consisted of 
the expensive Oriental rugs, carpets woven whole for rooms, etc. 
The ad valorem equivalent of the duties on all the classes ranged 
from 50 per cent to 84 per cent, the average ad valorem rate for 
all being 60.66 per cent. The reduced rates provided for the vari- 
ous grades of carpets and carpeting in the bill H. R. 11019 have 
been stated above, in comparison with the existing rates. The aver- 
age ad valorem rate on all carpets and carpeting under the bill H. R. 
11019 is estimated to be 49.13 per cent. The duties on the cheapest 
articles are reduced about one-half, and a little over one-sixth on the 
costly articles which make up 95 per cent of the imports. On the 
basis of the imports of 1910, the amount of duties at the lower rates 
would be $2,273,155. However, it is estimated, through a compari- 
son of the imports in prior years under both high and low duties 
and the ratios of imports to domestic consumption in the respective 
years, in the manner already described, that under the lower duties 
provided for in the bill H. R. 11019 the imports of all carpets and 
carpeting in 1912, or a 12-month period, would amount to about 
$5,878,000, or about 7.23 per cent of the domestic consumption. The 
total amount of the duties at the new rates on the estimated imports 
would be $2,887,800, which would be an increase of about 3 per cent 
over the amount of revenue collected on this group of articles during 
the fiscal year 1910. A concise comparison of the estimated imports 
and duties of all the classes of carpets and carpeting under the new 
rates, with the actual imports- and duties of the fiscal year 1910, is 
given in the following table :

58 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

SCHEDULE K AND THE REVENUE. 

As shown in Table 66, Schedule K is one of the most important 
schedules of the tariff law with regard to the revenues of the 
Treasury, as well as with regard to the comfort and welfare of the 
people. Import duties form the largest single division of the national 
revenues, and provide approximately one-half of the total revenue of 
the government at this time. For the year ending June 30, 1910, the 
total revenue of the United States was $675,511,715, of which $326,- 
561,683 came from tariff duties, $289,933,519 came from internal- 
revenue taxes, and $59,016,513 from all other sources of revenue 
(including the corporation tax) . In 1897, when the Republican Party 
acquired complete control of the national government, the total 
revenue collected from all sources was $347,721,705. Since then the 
population has increased about 28 per cent and the per capita wealth 
at about the same rate, and the taxes paid to the government have 
been increased about 94 per cent. This relates merely to the taxes paid 
directly into the Treasury without consideration of the enormous in- 
direct taxation caused by the tariff. In 1897 the taxes paid directly 
to the national government amounted to about $3.85 per capita; in 
1910 they amounted to about $7.35 per capita, almost twice as much. 
In 1910 the tariff taxes alone paid directly to the government 
amounted to about $3.55 per capita. 

In 1910 Schedule K provided 12.83 per cent of the total revenue 
from tariff duties. This percentage was exceeded in that year by only 
two other schedules of the tariff, Schedule J (flax, hemp, and jute, 
and manufactures of) and Schedule E (sugar, molasses, and manu- 
factures of). Schedule J provided 15.23 per cent and Schedule E 
16.26 per cent of the total tariff revenue of 1910. Schedule K did 
not produce as large a proportion of the total tariff revenue in 1910 
as it had done in earlier years. From 1871 to 1878 it was producing 
from 15^ to 20 per cent of the total revenue from tariff duties. Under 
the act of 1883, from 1884 to 1890, it produced in the various years 
anywhere from 15-J to 19 per cent. Under the act of 1890 the revenue 
from the schedule increased from 19.09 per cent in 1891 to 22.41 per 
cent in 1893. Under the act of 1894 the percentage fell off from 16.36 
per cent in 1894 to 13.14 per cent in 1897. The percentage fell off 
sharply with the act of 1897, indicating the prohibitive effect of the 
greatly increased duties. From 13.14 per cent in 1897 this percentage 
of Schedule K revenue to the total tariff revenue fell to 8.63 per cent 
in 1898 and 8.53 per cent in 1899, and during the following 10 years 
moved slowly upward to 12.92 per cent in 1906 and then declined to 
11.32 per cent in 1909. 

For the fiscal year 1910, duties to the amount of $41,900,693 were 
collected under Schedule K, of which amount $21,128,728.74 were 
from raw wools and $20,771,964.26 from manufactures of wool. Four 
groups of articles provide the bulk of the revenue from manufac- 
tures of Wool. The most important group is women's and children's 
dress goods, etc., which, in 1910, yielded $9,481,206.75 in duties, or 
not far from half of all the revenue from the manufactured goods. 
Woolen and worsted cloths are next in importance, and produced 
$5,937,753.72 in duties in 1910, or more than one-quarter of the total 
from the manufactures. Carpets and carpeting yielded $2,802,211.52 
in duties in the same year; and wearing apparel, etc., $1,444,296.87. 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 59 

The total revenue from these four groups was $19,665,468.86, out of 
a total of $21,128,728.74 from manufactures of wool. It is the esti- 
mate of the Ways and Means Committee that under the duties pro- 
vided for in the bill H. R. 11019 the probable total amount of duties 
which may reasonably be expected for the year 1912 would be about 
$40,556,000, of which about $13,398,000 would be from raw or un- 
manufactured wools and about $27,158,000 from manufactures of 
wool. It is very difficult to estimate accurately the amount of im- 
ports to be expected in the future under reduced duties. Many factors 
have to be carefully studied and considered, and the greatest care 
exercised that conclusions be drawn only from real facts and experi- 
ence and with reference to conditions that are fairly comparable. Of 
course, any attempt to foretell the future in such a matter is only an 
estimate and to be considered strictly as such. The committee has, 
however, made every possible effort to secure the best estimate that 
could be made under all the circumstances, and has checked up this 
work at every step by comparative results reached from different 
angles of computation. 

The method and procedure by which the estimate was reached of 
probable imports (and duties therefrom) of unmanufactured wools 
is explained earlier in this report in connection with the discussion 
of that subject. In dealing with the manufactures of wool, which 
include a number of groups of articles under widely varying condi- 
tions as to importations and otherwise, an estimate was made for 
each group separately, through the study of the changing propor- 
tions of imports to domestic consumption under high protective rates 
of duty and under material reductions of such rates as actually expe- 
rienced under the McKinley and Wilson tariffs, respectively. As 
to all the groups of manufactures of wool (under Schedule K), 
the domestic consumption was computed from the census statistics 
and the statistics of imports entered for consumption and ex- 
ports (Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and La- 
bor). The imports were compared with the consumption for the 
year 1892 under the McKinley high tariff, the year 1896 under 
the Wilson lower tariff, and the year 1910 under the Payne high 
tariff. The percentages of the imports to the domestic consumption 
were calculated for each of these years, and from the increase in 
such percentages in 1896 over those in 1892 proportionate increases 
were estimated over like percentages in 1910. These percentages were 
studied in connection with present industrial conditions and with 
reference to the almost prohibitive effect of many of the Payne rates ; 
also with regard to the greater competitive conditions involved in the 
proposed rates, considered in connection with the undoubted advance 
in the equipment of many of our domestic manufacturers and their 
increased ability to overcome foreign competition. From the cal- 
culated percentages, checked up with the factors above mentioned, 
estimated percentages of imports to domestic consumption were 
reached. 

The probable domestic consumption of 1912 was estimated from 
advance statistics of the census of 1910, assuming the continuances 
from 1910 to 1912 of the growth of recent years (or decline in the 
rare cases in which there was decline). Applying the calculated and 
checked percentages to the estimated domestic consumption of all 
the groups of manufactures of wool, the estimated imports were ob-

tained, and by applying to them the proposed rates of duty the esti- 
mated amounts of probable duties were reached. These estimates 
by groups have been already stated in connection with the comments 
in this report concerning such groups. 

The committee also had an estimate made for each of the groups of 
manufactures of wool by an agent of the Treasury Department 
through a study and comparison of the imports and duties of 1896 
with those of preceding and subsequent years under high protective 
duties, according to the method already explained in connection with 
the estimate similarly made of imports (and duties therefrom) of 
unmanufactured wools. In this additional estimate concerning 
manufactures of wool it was sought to secure some indication, as far 
as could be done through such statistical comparisons, of approxima- 
tion to the probable maximum revenue rate, for each of the groups of 
the manufactures in question. In this additional estimate the total 
probable revenue from the manufactures of wool amounted to less 
than the total of the estimate above mentioned reached through 
calculations based on domestic consumption and imports, but within 
a reasonable range of variation from the figures of this estimate. The 
rates indicated from the computations as the probable maximum 
revenue rates are in most cases above the rates provided for in the 
bill H. E. 11019. 

The estimated imports and duties are for a 12-month period under 
the rates provided for, and this period is considered to mean the 
calendar year 1912, as the act is to take effect on January 1, 1912. 
The total of the estimated revenue under the whole schedule, 
$40,556,000, falls below the revenue from the schedule in the fiscal 
year 1910 by not more than $1,350,000 ; and it is considered not un- 
likely that the bill H. R. 11019, if enacted into law, would produce 
revenue in 1912 equal to that derived from Schedule K in the fiscal 
year 1910. 

THE BEST BILL FOR COMPETITION IN WOOL MANUFACTURES. 

In the actual imports and duties under the schedule in the fiscal 
year 1910, the average ad valorem equivalent of the duties collected 
on manufactures of wool was 90.10 per cent. Under the bill H. R. 
11019 the average ad valorem rate on manufactures of wool, on the 
imports and duties as estimated for 1912, would be 42.55 per cent. 
The average ad valorem equivalent of the duties on all raw wool was 
44.31 per cent in 1910 (47.60 per cent for class 1, and 46.54 per cent 
for class 2 wools, the classes which compete with domestic wools). 
The bill H. R. 11019 provides an ad valorem rate of only 20 per cent 
on all raw wool. With this duty on the raw wools, the material for 
the manufacturers (amounting to about 10 per cent on the manu- 
factured product), the margin between the tax on the raw wool and 
the average ad valorem rate on the manufactured goods, as estimated, 
is about 32.55 per cent. Under the Wilson Act of 1894 the average 
ad valorem rate in 1896 was 47.84 per cent, with no tax on the raw 
wool, so that the margin in the rate on the manufactured goods was 
47.84 per cent. In the Springer bill of 1892, the rate on the manu- 
factured goods was, for the most part, 40 to 45 per cent. Likewise 
in the Mills bill of 1888, the rate on manufactured goods was, for the 
most part, 40 to 45 per cent, with the margin for the manufacturers 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 61 

the same. It is evident, therefore, that the bill H. K. 11019 provides 
a much lower margin, and hence a much more competitive rate for 
manufactures of wool than has been passed by the House of Repre- 
sentatives or enacted in any other Democratic measure since the 
tariff acts of 1846 and 1857. 

THE FORM AND PHRASEOLOGY OF THE BILL. 

The phraseology of the bill H. R. 11019 conforms throughout 
to that of the act of 1909. In framing the bill, the purpose of the 
committee has been to make no change in the language used in 
enumerating and describing the articles included under the provisions 
of the bill, except such as is necessarily involved in the omission of 
the provisions for the classification of raw wools, admixture of blood, 
the varying rates on washed, scoured, sorted, or skirted wools, etc., 
and the omission of subclassifications of most of the groups of 
manufactured articles according to value, weight, or dimension. The 
use of ad valorem duties exclusively throughout the bill makes un- 
necessary all the intricate and complex qualifications, differentiations, 
and discriminations of Schedule K of the act of 1909. The ad 
valorem duty adjusts itself automatically to all these distinctions. 

As the bill H. R. 11019 is a special tariff bill, dealing with only 
one schedule, the form and scope of the bill conform to the arrange- 
ment of similar bills in the past, particularly to that of the Springer 
bill of 1892, except that the articles provided for are explicitly 
enumerated and described, instead of being referred to merely by the 
number of the paragraph of the present act in which they are in- 
cluded. 

The enacting clause of the bill conforms exactly to that of the 
tariff act of August 5, 1909, of which the bill is practically an amend- 
ment, in order to avoid any possible conflict or ambiguity with regard 
to the insular possessions of the United States. The warehouse pro- 
vision (sec. 2) also conforms exactly to the corresponding provision 
in the act of 1909 (sec. 29), except that the provision for levying 
duties based on weight at the time of the entry of the merchandise is 
omitted, since the bill H. R. 11019 provides for no duties based on 
weight. Under this warehouse provision, as in the present act, 
articles in warehouse when the bill H. R. 11019 takes effect, on which 
duties have not been paid, shall be subjected to duty when withdrawn, 
as if they had been imported after the taking effect of the act ;^ but 
articles in warehouse on which duties have been paid and a permit of 
delivery issued, shall be subject to the duties imposed prior to the 
enactment of the new bill.

PRODUCTION, 



CONSUMPTION, AND MANUFACTURES 
OF WOOL. 



Table 26. — World's wool production in 1891, and wool and sheep in 1910, by countries; 
per cent of increase in wool production and in population, by continents. 

[Only approximate accuracy can be claimed for the figures of this table, as actual census statistics are not 
available for all countries, and it has been necessary to rely on estimates for the wool and population 
figures in several instances. Among the sources consulted in the preparation of the table are: Bulletins 
of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers; The Statesman's Year-Book; Report on Agriculture 
of South America, published by the United States Department of Agriculture; and official reports 
of foreign governments.]

a Estimate based on 64.2 per cent increase in number tabulated for 1910 in 34 states. 

The number of fleeces returned in 1900 as obtained from the 
1,948,952 goats indicates that only 24 per cent of the goats were shorn; 
the average weight of the fleece was 2.1 pounds. Assuming that the 
same percentage of the goats of 1910 were shorn and that the average 
weight of the fleece was the same as in 1900, the total production of 
mohair for 1910 would be estimated at 1,613,500 pounds, compared 
with 961,328 pounds for 1900.

WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 



According to the Bureau of the Census, there were 5,739,657 farms 
in the United States in 1900, which, with farm property, were valued 
at $20,514,001,838. While corresponding data are not available 
for 1910, the 641,926 farms returning sheep for 1910 will not represent 
more than 10 per cent of the total number of farms at this time. 
The values shown in Table 33 have been arrived at by applying the 
average value per sheep shown in Table 35 to the average number 
offsheep per farm computed from statistics given in Tables 29 and 32. 

Table 33. — Average number and average value of sheep per farm in 1910.

According to census statistics the farm value of sheep in the United 
States in 1900 constituted about six-tenths of 1 per cent of the value 
of all the farm property of the country, compared with three-tenths 
of 1 per cent in 1880; while the value of live stock constituted 15 per 
cent of the farm property value in 1900, compared with 13 per cent 
in 1880.

INCREASING WEIGHT OF FLEECES. 

The Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Agriculture has 
recorded the average weight of wool fleeces annually since 1891 
(except in 1892); the average weight has increased from 4.9 pounds 
per fleece in 1891 to 6.8 pounds in 1909, or 38.8 per cent. In 1910 
the average weight was G.7 pounds. The steadiness of the increase 
of the weight per fleece is shown in the following statement :

WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 



The figures in the following statement, showing decade increases 
in the weight per fleece, have been computed on the basis of the 
number of sheep and the quantity of fleece wool reported by the 
United States Census.

It it interesting to observe that a similar improvement in the 
breed of sheep for wool has taken place in Australia. The official 
Yearbook of New South Wales for 1907-8 states: "Of late years con- 
siderable attention has been given to the question of breeding, and 
the result is seen in the great improvement in the weight of fleeces." 
The average weight of wool per fleece in New South Wales (which con- 
tains more than half of the sheep of Australia) in 1881-1885 was 5.24 
pounds; in 1886-1890, 5.42 pounds; 1891-1895, 6.44 pounds; 1896- 
1900, 6.71 pounds; 1901-1905,7.61 pounds; 1906-1907, 7.82 pounds." 

No data are available for an analysis of the weight of fleeces by 
breed of sheep in the United States, but this information for Great 
Britain is given on page 176. 

Table 36. — Sheep and lambs, by states, in 1900 and 1910. 

[The statistics for the number of lambs are not strictly comparable owing to the change of the census- 
enumeration date from June 1 in 1900, which is after the close of the lambing season, to Apr. 15, in 
1910, which is in the midst of the lambing period; yet making due allowance for this, the figures 
further substantiate the decline of the sheep industry.]

a The western points are Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Omaha; eastern points represent sea- 
board receipts. 

In the past 19 years the western killings at the four centers and 
the seaboard receipts have increased from 4,896,000 to 9,924,147, a 
total practically double that of 1890. 

The total slaughter in the whole country, however, must be about 
50 per cent greater than the total given in the table, in which no 
account is made of the killings in small establishments and local 
slaughterhouses or by farmers for their own use. 

The total number of sheep and lambs returned to the Census Bureau 
as slaughtered for food in all meat-packing establishments and in 
slaughterhouses in the United States during 1909 was 14,067,000; and 
40,000 sheep and lambs from which wool-bearing skins were removed 
were returned as having died a natural death. 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 



177 



CLASSIFICATION OF RAW WOOLS. 

The initial process in wool manufacture is that of sorting or classi- 
fying, according to length, fineness, elasticity, and soundness of staple, 
the fibers of the fleece as clipped from the sheep's body. About 13 
or 14 sorts of wool may be obtained from 1 fleece, but very frequently 
not more than 7 are made. 

The following figure and descriptive data will afford a compre- 
hensive idea as to the wool classifications in commercial use: 




1 Shoulder [Wool grown on these parts is remarkable for length and strength 

2* Sides 1 °^ s ^ a P^ e ' softness of feel, and uniformity of character. These 

"I are usually the choicest wools of the fleece. 

3 Neck 1 

4 Tinner Veck* " [This wool is shorter than 1 and 2, but finer; frequently of 
5. Front of back' " * J inferior sta Pte and of irregular growth. 

6 Loin and back /The staple here is comparatively short and coarse, but on the 
"\ whole of a true or even character. 

(The woobis long, strong, and hangs in large staples. On cross- 
bred sheep this wool becomes very coarse and much the 
same as 8. 
{Fiber coarse, short, and glossy, and the wool often contains 
kemps (undeveloped fibers). It resembles horsehair, though 
more brittle, but not so smooth and bright. 
9 Hind le? /"Moderate length; coarse in fiber and hangs in open locks. It is 

° ■'[ generally sound. Much the same as 7. 

10 Bellv /Wool on this part is short, dirty, poor in quality, and fre- 

^ \ quently very tender. 

n TT'r.ro loo- /This wool is short and fine, but liable to contain vegetable 

n. rore leg | matter. 

12. Chest VWool from these parts is stiff, straight, coarse, and contains 

13. Throat and head../ kempy fibers. 

14. Shins This wool is short, thick, straight, and commonly called shanks.

oThe statistics of wool production in this table differ from those in other tables because of the 
general inclusion herein of pulled wool. The United States Department of Agriculture since 1895 has 
accepted the estimates of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, which statistics are computed 
from the estimates of sheep published by the department for January 1 of each year, and, in the effort to 
present comparable data, the statistics of the association are used in this table throughout. The statistics 
of wool, as prepared by the department, from 1F90 1O 1895 are as follows: 276,000,000 pounds for 1S90; 
285,000,000 pounds, 1891; 294,000,000 pounds, 1892; 303,153,000 pounds, 1893; 298,057,384 pounds, 1894; 
and 309,748 000 pounds for 1895.

The statistics of wool consumed for the United States, Table 41, 
include only the quantities shown to have been used in the industries 
presented in Table 47 ; the imports and exports for the United States 
are as compiled from the publications of the Bureau of Statistics of the 
Department of Commerce and Labor and relate to the fiscal year; those 
for foreign countries have been compiled from official sources and are for 
the calendar year, but the data do not in all instances relate to a uniform 
year. The countries shown in the statement consume approximately 
74 per cent of the world's annual wool production, and as indicated 
the United States is far in advance of any of the other great nations 
in the consumption of wool and in the value of wool manufactures. 

"The consumption of wool in the United Kingdom increased 87 
million pounds, or 24 per cent, from 1875 to 1904. In the same 
period the consumption of wool in the United States increased 214 
million pounds, or 87 per cent. In Germany the increase from 1875 
to 1902 amounted to 24 million pounds, representing 140 per cent of 
the consumption of the earlier years. In Austria-Hungary the 
increase from 1880 to 1902 was 250 per cent, and in Italy, 55 per 
cent." — Report of the Chamberlain Tariff Commission (London, 1905) .

These statistics do not include the operations of establishments 
engaged in the manufacture of carpets, felt goods, wool hats, hosiery 
and knit goods, shoddy, nor independent dyeing and finishing estab- 
lishments, but apply only to those manufacturing woolen goods and 
worsted goods. The reports were taken for the calendar year end- 
ing December 31, 1909, wherever the system of bookkeeping per- 
mitted figures for that period to be secured, but in some instances 
where the business year of an establishment differed from the calendar 
year the reports relate to this business year. 

The comparative figures of the above statement clearly indicate 
the remarkable development that has taken place in the industry 
since 1899. Although the number of establishments has decreased, 
an evidence of the concentration which has been the rule in wool 
manufacturing since 1870, on the other hand the amount of capital 
reported as invested shows an increase from $256,554,000 in 1899 to 
$415,465,000 -in 1909, or 62 per cent. The cost of materials used dur- 
ing the decade increased 85 per cent and the amount paid in salaries 
and wages, 58 per cent. The average wage increase per capita from 
1899 to 1909 was about 20 per cent. 

The value of products represents the product actually turned out 
by the factories during the census year and does not of necessity 
have any relation to the amount of sales for that year. The values 
under this head also include the amount received for work done on 
materials furnished by others.

WOOL AND MANUFACTUKES OF WOOL. 185 

This statement shows that there have been some interesting and 
important changes in the character of materials used during the past 
decade. The quantity of wool consumed, in condition purchased, 
increased from 330,179,000 poinds to 474,751,000 pounds, or 44 
per cent; reckoned on a scoured basis, the increase was 50 per cent. 
The quantity of raw cotton consumed fell from 40,245,000 pounds 
to 20,055,000 pounds, a decrease of 50 per cent, while the amount of 
cotton yarn purchased increased from 35,343,000 pounds to 39,169,000 
pounds, or 11 per cent. The net result is a decided decrease in the 
amount of cotton used as a material by wool manufacturers. 

The figures also show a marked decrease in* the use of shoddy. 
The quantity purchased decreased 35 per cent, and the amount 
manufactured in woolen mills for use therein fell off 10 per cent. 
In 1899 the total amount of shoddy consumed by woolen and worsted 
manufacturers was 68,663,000 pounds; in 1909 it was only 53,621,000 
pounds, a decrease all the more significant when the growth of the 
industry is considered. This is explained by the fact that the manu- 
facture of worsted fabrics, into which shoddy does not enter as a 
material to any appreciable extent, has increased enormously, while 
the quantity of woolen fabrics in which shoddy is utlized was actually 
less in 1909 than in 1899. 

The quantity of tops purchased as materials increased from 
5,566,000 to 20,828,000 pounds, or 274 per cent, and the quantity of 
worsted yarn from 25,111,000 to 58,769,000 pounds, or 134 per cent. 
These increases are due not only to the rapid growth of the worsted 
branch of the industry, but also to the greater degree of specialization 
which developed within that branch. Weavers of worsted fabrics 
ordinarily purchase their yarn instead of spinning it themselves, and 
although worsted spinners usually comb their own wool, they are pur- 
chasing tops to an increasing extent.

188 WOOL AND MANUFACTUKES OF WOOL. 

The most notable features of this statement are the great increases 
in quantities and values of worsted fabrics, and the pronounced 
decreases in the quantities and values of many kinds of woolen 
fabrics produced. Of the all-wool goods, the value of woolen suit- 
ings and overcoatings increased but 5 per cent, and the value of 
woolen dress goods but 26 per cent. On the other hand, worsted 
suitings increased 136 per cent in value and 119 per cent in quantity; 
worsted dress goods increased 231 per cent in value and 83 per cent 
in quantity, showing a much higher value per square yard in 1909 
than in 1899. All-wool flannels for underwear decreased both in 
quantity and in value, while all-wool blankets decreased slightly in 
quantity but gained in value. 

Of the union or cotton-mixed goods produced, the value of men's 
wear fabrics fell off 39 per cent, and the value of women's dress 
goods decreased 52 per cent. Mixed cotton and wool blankets 
showed a gain of 154 per cent in value. 

Of goods woven on cotton warps, wool-filling suitings showed a 
slight increase in quantity but a decrease of 1 per cent in value, 
denoting a drop in price per square yard — due possibly to the use 
of inferior materials in this class of goods. Worsted-filling suitings 
and overcoatings increased 111 per cent, and linings, Italian cloths, 
etc., which are Worsted rather than woolen goods, gained 308 per 
cent in value. Satinets and linseys and cotton-warp blankets 
decreased both in quantity and value. 

On the whole, the values per square yard of cloth manufactured 
were much higher in 1909 than in 1899; among the reasons for this 
may be given higher costs of production and an improvement in the 
general quality of goods made. 

The relative amounts of woolen and worsted fabrics produced are 
more clearly brought out by combining the items of the above state- 
ment which fall in each of the two classes. By adding together the 
quantities of worsted suitings, overcoatings, and dress goods, worsted- 
filling suitings, overcoatings, and dress goods and linings, Italian cloths, 
etc., it will be found that in 1909 there were produced 350,659,000 
square yards of worsted goods, against 181,228,000 square yards in 
1899, a gain of 93 per cent. By combining the remaining items it 
will be seen that there were 220,740,000 square yards of woolen cloths 
made in 1909, against 245,723,000 square }^ards in 1899, or a loss of 
10 per cent. 

Of the other articles produced for sale, wool waste shows a gain of 
185 per cent in value over the 1899 figures. The large increase in 
quantity and value of noils produced for sale is another evidence of 
the growth of the worsted branch of the industry, and the great quan- 
tity of worsted yarn which enters the channels of trade is due to* the 
fact that worsted spinning and weaving are not ordinarily carried on 
under the same roof.

Glossary. 

Alpaca wool. — The Alpaca is one of the four species of Peruvian 
sheep, allied to the camel, and valued for its wool, which is straighter 
than that of sheep, very fine, glossy and elastic. It is closely allied 
to the Vicuna, the Llama and the Guamaco. The hair of the alpaca 
takes colors well and the textiles made from it have a silky lustre. 

The hair of the Vicuna is very fine and usually brings double the 
price of alpaca hair, for felting purposes. 

The hair of the Llama is nearly all consumed locally for sacking, 
cordage, carpets and other coarse fabrics, while that of the Guamaco 
is dark brown in color, shorter and coarser than that of the other 
species. It is used by the natives for making blankets and rarely 
comes into the market. t 

Angora. — There are two varieties of goats valuable as hair pro- 
ducers, the Angora or Mohair and the Cashmere. The Angora or 
Mohair goat is a native of the mountains and central plateaus of Asia 
Minor. It is somewhat smaller than the common goat, the particular 
feature of all varieties of the breed being the length and abundance 
of the hair which covers the body. 

Astrachan. — (1) A name given to skins with a curled wave (the 
pelts of lambs) obtained from Astrakhan in European Russia. 

(2) A rough fabric, with a long and closely curled pile in imitation 
of fur. 

Australian wools are of fine quality and are classed in the order of 
their value as follows: Port Philip, Sydney, and Adelaide. 

Bagdad wool is the finest and best wool grown in Mesopotamia, 
coming principally in colors of black, brown, and fawn, with some 
white. This class of wool does not now come into the United States. 

Blanket. — A heavy covering for a bed or a horse, with a thick soft 
nap on both sides. The cheapest blankets have for filling the shorter 
wool combings and shoddy. In ordinary horse blankets the same or 
still coarser and half cleaned wool is used for filling. 

Booking. — A coarse woolen drugget or baize. 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 227 

Bright wools. — See Domestic wools. 

Bunting. — A thin woolen material loosely woven, used for making 
flags of all kinds; also for women's dresses. 

Butcher's wool is grown in European Turkey, but is not now 
imported. 

Cabretta slcins are derived from an animal which is a cross between 
the sheep and the goat. 

Camel's hair. — The hair of the camel from which very fine fabrics, 
especially shawls, are made, also carpets, tent cloths, etc. The long 
hair of the camel mixed with wool, or wool and cotton, is spun into 
yarn. 

Carbonizing is the process of removing burs and other vegetable 
substances by immersing the wool in acid, and by subjecting it to 
a high degree of heat. All vegetable matter thus becomes " car- 
bonized," and can be "shaken" out as dust. (See Wool extract.) 

Carding is the process of opening up the fibers and making the 
wool loose and workable. The carding engines consist of large cyl- 
inders on which revolve smaller cylinders, the surfaces of which are 
covered with fine teeth, the cylinders revolving in different directions 
and at different speeds. The wool passes between these rollers, and 
from one to another, finally emerging in a light, fluffy rope or roll, 
called a "sliver" or "strand." 

Carpets. — A thick fabric usually woven of wool, or of wool on a 
linen or jute ground or back and in more or less ornamental designs, 
used for covering floors, stairs, etc. 

Cashmere. — (1) A fine and soft woolen fabric used for dress goods. 
It differs from merino in being twilled on one side only. 

(2) The Cashmere goat is a native of Kashmir, India, and is also 
found in Thibet. Its color is usually white, and its outer coat, which 
is of little economic value, is extremely heavy. 

(3) Cashmere wool is soft down wool from the Cashmere goat, 
used in making India shawls, etc. 

' Cassimere. — A woolen cloth about 30 inches in width, used for 
men's wear; specifically, a twilled cloth of the above description, used 
principally for trousers. 

u Castel Branco" wool is grown in Portugal, but does not now come 
into the United States. 

Classification of wools. — Under the tariff wool is divided into three 
classes: (1) consists of what are called carding or "clothing" wools. 
These are fine wt>o1s, short in fiber, and are used for carding and 
spinning into woolen yarn. They consist principally of wools from 
sheep of merino blood, and are imported mainly from Australia and 
Argentina. (2) consists of long-fibered combing wools, i. e. wools 
which are used for combing and spinning into worsted yarns. They 
come principally from the English breeds of long-haired sheep, such 
as the Cotswold, Lincolnshire, Romney Marsh and Leicesters. The 
quantity of class 2 wools imported is much smaller than the quan- 
tities of classes 1 and 3, and they come principally from the United 
Kingdom. Canada also raises this class of wools, and their free 
entry under the reciprocal agreement of 1854-64 served as an impe- 
tus to the establishment of the manufacture of worsteds in the 
United States. Combing machinery has been perfected to such an 
extent, however, that domestic territory wools are suitable for comb- 
ing, and those that are imported are used for special purposes, where 



228 WOOL AND MANUFACTUKES OF WOOL. 

the lustre of English combing wools is desirable. (3) consists of 
coarse wools which are suitable only for carpets. They are not 
raised to any extent in the United States, and form a large part 
of our wool imports. They are brought mainly from China, Russia, 
the United Kingdom, and Turkey. Some of these wools are suitable 
for carding and spinning into woolen yarn, while others are long 
enough to be combed and spun into worsted carpet yarn. 

Combing is an important step in the making of worsted yarn. 
It consists of combing out the wool, thus removing the short fibers 
which are passed on to the woolen manufacturer as noils, and leaving 
the long fibers arranged parallel to each other in the form called 
tops, ready to be drawn out and spun into worsted yarn. 

Combing wools are wools of sufficiently long fiber to be combed 
for making worsted yarns. Originally, only very long-fibered wools 
could be used for this purpose, but combing machinery has been 
perfected to such an extent that short-fibered wools can be used. 

Conditioning , ascertaining the amount of moisture in wool or 
cloth to determine its normal weight. Under normal conditions 
wool contains from 12 to 14 per cent of absorbed moisture. 

Counts of yarn. — The size of yarn is technically called the " counts," 
and is based on the number of 560 yards required to weigh one 
pound. 

Dead wool is that obtained from the pelts of sheep that have died. 

Degras is a wool grease obtained usually from the water in which 
wool has been scoured. 

Delaine wool. — All wools which are carded before they are combed 
are called Delaine wools. 

Domestic wools. — (1) Fleeces are sometimes called washed fleeces; 
they come from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. This wool is about 
equal in fineness and fulling quality to Australian wool. (2) Bright 
wools are coarser in quality but of greater luster. They are produced in 
Missouri, Indiana, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Kentucky. 
These wools are used mostly for wadding serges and worsted dress goods. 
The quality is commonly spoken of as being quarter blood or three- 
eighths blood, meaning that the animal from which the fleece is 
shorn is supposed to contain J or f merino blood, by interbreeding. 

(3) Territory wools are about the same quality as fleeces and are 
grown in Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Utah, and other Western States. 

(4) Lake and Georgia wools are grown in Georgia and Louisiana and 
are about the same quality as bright wools. 

Donskoi wool. — Russian wool of coarse quality imported generally 
in the washed state. It is very white, coarse at the top, a small 
part being suitable for the manufacture of fabrics with a lustrous 
surface. It is sometimes mixed with mohair. 

Druggets. — A coarse woolen material woven or felted, used for car- 
pet linings or as a rug or carpet. 

Duties. — There are two kinds of custom duties, ad valorem and 
specific. The former are based on values in percentages; the latter, 
upon a unit of weight or measure, and are measured in payments 
per pound, ton, dozen, etc. Sometimes a duty is partly ad valorem 
and partly specific, in which case it is called a compound duty. 

Felt. — This is a fabric made from wool, or wool and hair, or wool 
and hair or fur, by rolling, beating and pressing. Felt cloths are made 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 229 

for various purposes, the finer kinds being used for carpets and table 
covers. The materials commonly used for felt hats are the furs of the 
rabbit and other animals, and the wool of sheep. The latter material 
is used for common and medium hats, only the finer felt hats being 
made from fur. 

Finishing. — Finishing process is necessary for all fabrics after they 
come from the loom. Worsted goods require but few and simple 
finishing processes; woolen cloths require elaborate finishing oper- 
ations. They consist of the cutting out of knots and loose ends of 
thread, including imperfections, fulling, stretching and straighten- 
ing the fabric, "napping" or raising the fiber on the surface in the 
case of woolen fabrics, and pressing. 

Flannel. — A woolen fabric of loose texture and varying degrees of 
fineness, especially used in hot climates as an outer garment and in 
cold climates as an undergarment. 

Fleece. — The coat of wool that is removed from a sheep at one 
shearing. 

Flocks, short fibers which are removed from the face of the cloth 
in the finishing operations. Those from the fulling mills are most 
valuable. Flocks are of three kinds: (1) Fulling flocks; (2) raising 
flocks; (3) cutting or cropping flocks. 

Fulling is the operation of shrinking the cloth and felting the 
fibers, thus making the goods stronger and firmer in bod} 7 ". This is 
done by allowing the goods to be scoured and rubbed between heav3^ 
rollers from two to eighteen hours according to the character of the 
goods and amount of fulling desired. Some goods are fulled until 
they have shrunk to one-half their original woven length and breadth. 

Hog or Jiogget. — A sheep before its first shearing. 

Italian cloths. — Smooth-faced linings used in making up various 
kinds of wearing apparel; composed of fine wool in the weft and 
cotton hi the warp. 

Jersey cloth, knit cloth of fine combed wool; made first in the Island 
of Jersey for fisherman's wear; sometimes made with fleeced back. 
Same as stockinette. 

Kemps. — Coarse hair which is mingled with the fine hair or wool 
and must be separated from it before the manufacture of fine goods. 
Fibers of wool which possess no cellular structure and will not dye. 

Kersey, a very heavy felted satin finish woolen cloth, made with 
a cross twill for face. 

Lake and Georgia wools. — See Domestic wools. 

Lamb's wool is naturally pointed at the end because it has never 
been clipped. It is termed hog or hogget wool and is more valuable 
when longer, of about fourteen months growth. 

Lea. — The seventh part of a hank or 80 yards. 

Medulla, the inner portion or marrow of the wool fiber, containing 
pigment matter which gives color to the wool. It also absorbs the 
dyestuffs in dyeing wool. If undeveloped the wool is difficult or 
impossible to dye. 

Melton, a thick, heavy, woolen fabric with a short nap. All trace 
of the weave is destroyed in the finishing. The goods is usually black 
or dark blue and used for overcoats. 

Merino wool. — The merino sheep was bred for wool and not mut- 
ton. Its fleece is fine, strong, elastic and of good color and pos- 
sesses a high felting power. It is a native of Spain, and that 



230 WOOL AND MANUFACTUBES OF WOOL. 

country was for a long time the chief country of its production. It 
was introduced into the United States at the beginning of the present 
century and formed the basis of most of the fine wool producing 
flocks of this country to-day. 

Mestiza, Metis or Metz wools have resulted from crossing full- 
blooded imported merino and the native South American Criolla 
sheep. 

Milling is the process of thickening cloth by beating or pressing. 

Mocha hair. — The growth on mocha sheep is not known or regarded 
as wool in any of the markets of the country; it is composed mostly 
of dead hair or kemp, and can not be remuneratively carded, and is 
not commercially suited for carding or for spinning. It is therefore 
usually designated in commerce as mocha hair. 

Mohair from Angora goat — indigenous to Western Asia — largely 
cultivated in Turkey. These goats imported from Turkey are now 
grown in Oregon, California, Texas, etc. Domestic is mohair not so 
valuable as foreign, principally because it contains about 15 per 
cent more kempy fibers (which will not dye). 

Mungo is similar to shoddy, except that it is reclaimed from "hard" 
rags, — i. e., from cloth that has been "milled," whereas shoddy is 
obtained from rags of pure unmilled woolens such as flannels, stock- 
ings, etc. Mungo is less valuable than shoddy, and the fibers are 
shorter. 

Noils are the short fibers which are rejected in the process of comb- 
ing wool. The long fibers which result from combing are "tops" 
and the fibers which are combed out are the noils. They are very 
valuable for the manufacture of woolens, and often command as 
high a price as new short-fibered clothing wools. 

Passementerie. — Edgings and trimmings in general, especially 
those made of gimp, braid, or the like; often combined with jet or 
metal threads. 

Piece-dyed, cloth that has been dyed after being woven. 

Pile fabrics. — Articles characterized by a softer covering over- 
spreading the ground structure of the fabric. 

Plush. — A cloth of silk, cotton, or wool (especially of camel's and 
goat's hair) having a softer and longer nap than that of velvet. 

Pulled wool is that obtained from the pelts of slaughtered sheep. 

Moving is the term applied to wool when it is in the form of loose, 
untwisted rope or sliver, after carding, but before it has been drawn 
out by the final spinning operation. 

Saxony wools, grown in Germany, are the finest in the world. 

Scouring. — Wool usually comes to market "in the grease." It is 
loaded down with animal grease, dried sweat, dirt, sand, and other 
foreign substances. By means of automatic rakes it is forced through 
the successive bowls of warm soapy water of the scouring machine, 
emerging from the last bowl as clean wool, ready for the drying 
process. The general average shrinkage of American wools is about 
60 per cent. 

Selvage. — A narrow band woven on the edges or sides of goods to 
strengthen and preserve, as it prevents the raveling of the weft. 

Shoddy is wool fiber reclaimed from "soft" rags, such as flannels, 
stockings, etc. (pure wools that have not been milled). The rags are 
put through a picker or grinding machine, which tears them to pieces 
and reduces them to a mass of fibers. (See Mungo.) 



WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 231 

Shrinkage. — See Scouring. 

Skirting is the process of removing the coarsest and least valuable 
wool from the fleece. 

Sliver is the term applied to the wool when it comes from the card- 
ing process in the shape of soft, thick, untwisted rope. It is the object 
of the succeeding processes to draw this sliver out evenly, making it 
smaller and smaller, and finally twisting it into a fine thread or yarn. 

Stubbing is the wool sliver after it has passed through the first 
combing process, but before the noils have been removed by passage 
through the combing machine proper. 

Stock-dyeing means the dyeing of fiber- in the raw state rather than 
in the form of yarn or piece goods. 

Territory wools. — See Domestic wools. 

Texture, number of warp and filling ends to one square inch in & 
fabric. 

Tops is the term applied to combed wool. The combing process, 
which is used only in making worsted yarn, removes the short fibers, 
or noils, and combs the long fibers so that they lie parallel to each 
other. 

Tricot.— A. heavy fabric characterized by a line or ribbed effect* 
Intended to imitate the face effect of a knitted fabric. 

Tweed, rough, unfinished, fabric of wool, or cotton and wool, usually 
of yarn of two or more shades, originally the product of the weavers 
on the banks of the river Tweed in Scotland. 

Vicuna wool, from the smallest of the South American goat-like 
camels, but a cultivated animal which is disappearing. 

Washed wool. — Washed on the sheep in clear water before it is shorn. 
Fleece wool, as it comes from the market is usually in the grease, that 
is, unwashed and with all of the dirt which gathers on the surface of 
the greasy wool, the washing being done as a preliminary step to sheep 
shearing. 

Waste wool. — " Roving waste," "top waste," " slubbing waste " and 
"ring waste" are commercial designations which are derived from the 
nature of the different processes in making worsted } r arns, from which 
they result as by-products. They increase in value in a rising scale 
in the order specified: roving waste is the waste of the first finished 
product of the wool after coming from the finisher; top waste is the 
waste from another step upward in the process of making worsted 
yarn; slubbing waste is the waste from another process similar to the 
making of the top. Ring waste results from the process where these 
rovings are being spun into yarn and comes in the form of broken 
threads. Garnetted waste is ring waste and thread waste put through 
a garnetting machine by which process the worsted yarns and threads 
are opened and made fluffy. 

Wether. — A sheep after the first shearing. 

Wether wool applies to all fleeces cut subsequent to the first fleece, 
which is called lamb's wool. 

Wool. — Fibers of all animals are not alike; they vary in fineness, 
soundness, length and strength from the finest merino to the rigid 
bristles of the wild boar. The distinction between wool and hair lies 
chiefly in the great fineness and wavy delicacy of the woolen fiber, 
combined with its highly serrated surface upon which the lustre of 
the wool depends. Hair is straight and glossy, stronger and smoother 
than wool and grows sometimes as long as 20 inches. 



232 WOOL AND MANUFACTURES OF WOOL. 

Wool extract is obtained from union cloths, also cloths having a 
woolen or inungo warp or filling. To reclaim the wool fiber, the vege- 
table matter (cotton) is extracted by the process of carbonizing. To 
effect this, the tissue or rags are steeped in a solution of sulphuric 
acid and water and then subjected to heat in an enclosed room. 
The water is evaporated leaving the acid in a concentrated form, 
which acts upon the cotton converting it into powder. The wool 
material left is washed, dried and subsequently passed through a 
minature carder to give it a woolly appearance. 

Woolen cloth is made of yarn in which the fibres lie criss-cross, thus 
affording a fuzzy surface. When woven, the cloth has a distinct nap, 
which is variously treated in the finishing process. Short-flbered 
wools are used, and the design made in weaving does not appear 
distinctly in the finished goods. 

Woolen yarn, a yarn made from short-fibered wool, and in which 
the fibres lie in every conceivable direction, thus imparting a fuzzy 
appearance to the yarn. The cloth woven therefrom is therefore 
susceptible to various kinds of finishings and blendings of colors, the 
weave being somewhat obscured by the fuzz or nap. 

Worsted clotli is made of yarn in which the fibers have been combed 
out so that they lie parallel to each other. Comparatively long- 
fibered wool is used, and the yarn has a smooth appearance, few 
fiber ends appearing on the surface. Consequently worsted cloths 
have very little nap, a hard smooth finish, and show clearly the 
design effected in weaving. 

Worsted yarn, a yarn made from comparatively long-fibered wool 
(designated as Class 2 in the Tariff Act) the fibers having been combed 
out straight and parallel, thus giving a smooth and even yarn with 
but little fuzz. The cloth woven therefrom consequently has but 
little nap, thus insuring a clear and distinct pattern in the finished 
fabric.

The Immigration Commission in its study of the woolen and worsted 
industry secured detailed information from 23,388 employees. Of 
the total number of employees studied, 61.9 per cent were foreign-born 
and 24.4 per cent were of native birth but of foreign father and 13.7 
per cent were native-born persons of native father. "The average 
weekly wage of the male employees 18 years of age or over was $10.49 
and of the female employees $8.18. The average annual earnings of 
male heads of families who were employed in the industry were $400. 
and of all males 18 years of age or over in the households studied, $346, 
The average annual income of families the heads of which were work- 
ing in the industry was $661."

VIEWS OF THE MINORITY. 



It is difficult to understand on any economic principle why this bill 
is pressed just at this time. We have a Tariff Board, at an annual 
expense of $250,000, which has been engaged for several months in 
the investigation of Schedule K, and we are assured that this board 
will be ready to report fully on the 1st of December next. The wool 
schedule is difficult and intricate, and directly involves the welfare 
and living of more than a half million people. Changes, when made, 
should be with the greatest care and study and with all the intelligent 
aid we can muster. 

Without any hearings or new data, with no information later than 
that of two years ago, this bill is forced upon the House at the 
mandate of a political caucus. There can be no expectation that 
it will pass the other House or be even considered there before 
December next, at least. 

The bill itself is unlike any legislation ever attempted on this sub- 
ject, and is a radical departure from all party platforms and economic 
principles. 

The only reason or excuse for the existence of this bill is that given 
by the Democratic caucus in their resolution. As the caucus seems 
to be the only body doing any legislating at this time, the action taken 
at the time it put this bill upon its passage must be taken as express- 
ing the views of the majority. The caucus resolution was passed 
along with the adoption of this bill, and was put into the Congressional 
Record at the same time the bill was introduced in the House. The 
caucus edict has also gone forth that no amendment will be allowed 
in the House. The caucus is supreme, the House is its weak echo. 

The caucus resolution tells us that this bill "is not to be const) ued 
as the abandonment of any Democratic policy," but in view of "the 
depleted and depleting condition of the Public Treasury — a result of 
Republican extravagance — a tariff of 20 per cent ad valorem on raw 
wool is now proposed as a revenue necessity." 

"Revenue necessity" is the only reason so far given for this tariff 
on raw wool. 

The statement as to the condition of the Treasury here given is 
absolutely false, as proven by Treasury daily statement. On May 
31, the day before this caucus, there was an actual surplus of receipts 
over disbursements for the past 11 months of the fiscal year which 
will end on the 30th day of this month of June of $6,875,914.37. 
One year ago, on Mav 31," 1910, there was a deficit for the like period 
of 11 months of $13,275,110.35. The Treasury was not depleted, but 
was better off by $20,151,024.72 on the date* of the caucus than on 
the same day in 1910. This gain has increased daily since, and is 
now about $22,000,000. 

The Secretary's report made in December last shows a surplus 
of receipts over expenditures at the close of the year June 30, 1910, 
of $15,806,328.94.

VIEWS OF THE MINORITY. 



On this same basis, with corporation-tax receipts coming in, the sur- 
plus on June 30, next, for the year will be more than $36,000,000. 
In the words of the most distinguished Democratic leader: 

Let no Democratic advocate of a tax on wool masquerade behind the pretense that 
he is voting for a revenue tariff; let him not add hypocrisy to the sin he commits 
against his party. 

The bill is not drawn on lines for the production of revenue on raw 
wool. With a duty of 20 per cent on wool the duty on manufactured 
cloth is too low to enable our manufacturers to pa}^ the wool duty a x id 
still compete with imported cloths. The bill is much worse than the 
Wilson for the weavers of cloth. Under that the wool was free and the 
duties on woolens greater. What wool came in would come as cloths 
under this bill. 

But the mills here on most lines must soon close, and the farmer, 
unable to find market for his wool, must destroy his flocks. The ex- 
perience under the Wilson bill demonstrates this. 

This bill was printed for the use of the caucus, together with some 
statistics, which we are promised will appear in the committee report. 

On page 22 of the caucus print appears a summary of estimated 
imports and duties, from which we extract: 



Items. 



Raw wool, imports 

Manufactures of wool, imports 



Results under 

present law for 

year ending 

June 30, 1910. 



$47, 687, 293. 20 
23, 057, 357. 78 



Estimated 

results for 

12-month 

period under 

proposed law. 



Increase. 



$66,991,000.00 
63,831,000.00 



$19, 293, 706. 80 
40, 773, 357. 78 



Value per pound, $0,186. 

Dividing the above increase in imports of raw wool ($19,293,706.80) 
by the value given ($0,186 per pound), we have an increased import 
of raw wool, estimated by this committee in weight of 103,800,000 
pounds. 

The above increase in fabrics imported was $40,773,642.22, of 
which 60 per cent is estimated to be the value of the wool to make the 
fabrics— $24,464,185.33. 

The fabric is estimated at $1 per pound, and it takes 3^ pounds of 
wool in the fleece to make a pound of cloth. Multiplying the above 
by 3^ we have a result of pounds of raw wool of 85,621,147.60; a total 
of wool imports equivalent to 189,421,147 pounds, which is equivalent 
to 60 per cent of the annual production of domestic wool, averaging 
less than 315,000,000 pounds. 

We do not care to go into the many objections to this bill which 
we might urge. 

For purely political reasons this cold-blooded measure is brought 
forward. If it could become a law, it would slaughter the sheep as 
in 1894 and close the mills much more universally.
